D. Red Cloud [Libby] : A Lakota Story of War and Surrender. ABRAMS, 2017. Format: OverDrive Kindle Book. Format: OverDrive OverDrive Read. Biography & Autobiography. History. Juvenile Nonfiction. Sociology. HTML:<p>The award-winning author and illustrator of <i>Black Elk's Vision</i> and <i>Sitting Bull</i> continues his picture-book biography series with <i>Red Cloud</i>, the story of one of the most controversial leaders in Native American history.</p> <p>A leader among the Lakota during the 1860s, Chief Red Cloud deeply opposed white expansion into Native American territory. He rejected treaties from the U.S. government and instead united the warriors of the Lakota and nearby tribes, becoming the only Native American to win a war against the U.S. Army. Despite his military successes, Red Cloud recognized that continued conflict would only bring destruction to his people. He made the controversial decision to make an agreement with the U.S. government, and moved his people to a reservation. The effects of his decision—as well as the conflicts that arose from those who rejected the agreement and continued fighting against white expansion, such as Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull—shaped much of the history of Native American relations with the U.S. in years to come.</p> <p>Featuring archival images and S. D. Nelson's stunning illustrations, <i>Red Cloud</i> offers an authentic Native American perspective on one of the most pivotal eras of American history. S. D. Nelson has received praise and honor for his works. His book <i>Sitting Bull</i> received an American Indian Youth Literature Honor Award. <i>Black Elk's Vision</i> made the prestigious Texas Bluebonnet Master List and <i>The Star People</i> earned a Western Spur award.</p>.
