Red Cloud: Warrior-Statesman of the Lakota SiouxPerhaps no Indian leader of the mid nineteenth century was as well known in his time as the great Lakota Sioux Red Cloud. Although his fame later was eclipsed by that of the legendary heroes who crushed Custer's Seventh Cavalry at the Battle of the Little Bighorn Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse Red Cloud's active leadership of his people, and his representation of the Sioux in vital negotiations with the U. S. government, survived the demise of the other

Perhaps no Indian leader of the mid-nineteenth century was as well known in his time as the great Lakota Sioux Red Cloud. Although his fame later was eclipsed by that of the legendary heroes who crushed Custer's Seventh Cavalry at the Battle of the Little Bighorn-Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse-Red Cloud's active leadership of his people, and his representation of the Sioux in vital negotiations with the U.S. government, survived the demise of the other leaders by many years.

Red Cloud was not born to leadership. He earned it. In his early years he gained a reputation for fierceness as a warrior and as a tactician against both whites and other Indian tribes. And in his middle years, his leadership against the U.S. Army in the Powder River country, his forcing the closure of the Bozeman Trail, and his strong pressure to negotiate the favorable outcome of the Treaty of Fort Laramie in 1868 made him the preeminent chief among the Sioux.

In his later years, Red Cloud was an intermediary for his people in their dealings with the U.S. government. Although his motives at times were questioned, he steadfastly resisted encroachments on Sioux land during the reservation period, and he consistently protested the pressure by market oriented whites to impose an agrarian economy on a people who had never farmed. Red Cloud's passionate belief in the values of his culture prevented him from acting as a culture broker; nevertheless, he remained an important figure of the Gilded Age.

Imbued with the new social and environmental historiography, this modern biography by Robert W. Larson is a valuable contribution to Sioux history and to our understanding of Indian-white relationships in the nineteenth century as well as political aspects of the Indian-white dialogue.

very happy with this purchase!
Color: Khaki, Size: Small, Color: Khaki, Size: Small
The ANRABESS Women’s Sleeveless High Neck Tank Top is a great wardrobe staple! The fabric is comfortable, soft, and lightweight, making it perfect for layering or wearing on its own. It has a flattering high-neck design that looks polished and pairs easily with shorts, jeans, skirts, or dressier pieces. For sizing reference, I’m wearing a size small, and I found it to fit true to size. It has a comfortable fit without being too tight or too loose and holds its shape well throughout the day. Versatile, comfortable, and easy to style. I’m very happy with this purchase!

Perfect fit and Style
Color: Black, Size: Large
LOVE THESE TANKS. The material is stretchy, durable and not see through, it’s a longer fit so it doesn’t stop at the waist and has a small curve cut at the waist area. Perfect for layering as the neck is high and also makes for good coverage for those who are bustier like myself. I ordered A large AND ordered four different colors as they are a great price.

Good basic tanktop
Color: White, Size: Small
The material feels really nice and soft to the touch. It’s great as a basic tank top for everyday wear, especially during hot weather. 🌤️ The fit is flattering and shapes the body well without feeling too tight. Simple, comfortable, and easy to match with anything!

Very flattering
Color: Royal Blue, Size: Small
I ordered four of these tops, two white, a beautiful royal blue, and the great green one . There are so many things to like about this top but they didn’t work for my needs. The fabric is a nice weight, it is form fitting but not clingy, soft and comfortable, I was looking for tops that would not expose my bra straps. The style is cut in at the shoulder which will show your straps. If that’s not an issue for you then you will love this top. Can be worn by itself, under a suit jacket or blouse. The colors are bright and flattering, perfect for spring and summer.

Nice Fit - Casual or Dressy Casual
Color: Black, Size: Large
The tank top is comfortable, true to size and form fitting with great length (tank runs about 3 inches past my waist). I like the look and fit so much I bought the same tank in several different colors. The tank looks great with my wide leg jeans and below the knee bubble skirt. The tank is versatile and can be worn for leisure or dressy casual creating a polished look, i.e. wear with a blazer or smart casual skirt. I watch for a discounted price as some colors may be offered at a lower price.
