Born in Nebraska, Red Cloud excelled at making war and peace. In the conflict that bears his name, Red Cloud’s War, he is credited with the only Native American victory in any war with the United States. He was also a good public speaker, and as the most photographed Indian in the nineteenth century, his face was instantly recognizable to contemporaries, Americans, and Native Americans alike.
