for a first class
part of October, 181 1, stood a goodly
sized Indian village. Here amid tho
falling leaves stood a wigwam, inailo of
skins of beasts, and in this modest
domicile late ono afternoon was born
it little red man u Sioux Indian pup
poosc. Tho old Indian woman who
acted as nurse took tho little babe,
covered wiui me noau-wurKou iiiiuikcl
bordered with rabbit skliw, to tho Hup
of the wigwam and looked out, casting
about for u name, as was tho usual
custom, to be derived from nature.
Tho sun had just sot and tho sky was
covered with a beautiful pale red so
common in that country. Great, lleocy
clouds were piled up against the hori
zon, all tinged with u beautiful crim
son, and the old woman caught tho
spirit, from them, fell to her knees la
silent worship and called tho babo
"Oumnyou," which was afterward In
terpreted by ii Jesuit missionary to
mean ''Rod Cloud," although tho Sioux
word for that name is quite another
term now.
At any rate, here and at this time
was born the Indian who was after
ward to give so much trouble to tho
world and for whom was named a town
which will bo a monument to his mom
ory when lettered marblo has crum
bled and to the dust returned.
This was nine years after Manuel
Lisa located a trading post at Bollovuo
and ton years before Peter Sarpy, the
Hrst white settlor, located in Ne
braska. Ked Cloud was much the same as
other Indian children, except that ho
was a born leader and early showed
his works among his playmates. How
ever, not much was heard of him until
1832. At this dato, and before, tho
Sioux Indians occupied or claimed
nearly nil that portion of Nebrasku
uorth of the Platto river and west of
the Elkhorn. Tho Pawnees wore be
tween tho Platte aud Republican, and
other tribes in the custom part of tho
state.
In that year (IHIW) there occurred
ono of 'ho worst Indian battles known
to tho world, which took place be
tween tho Sioux and Pawnees. Just
where tho battle ground was no one
seems to know, but it is most gener
ally located on tho Plaltoeast of Koar
uey. At any rate, thoro were over
18,1)00 warriors in the light, and 2,500
of tho Sioux wore slain, and nearly as
many of tho Pawnoos. Tho Pawnees
were victorious aud took many pris
oners, and after tho battle was over
they burned 700 of the Sioux captives
alive.
In this battle Ked Cloud came to
tho front. Ho was only 18 years old,
but ho showed a valor and lighting ca
pacify seldom seen In one of his ago.
A brave was not admitted to the coun
cils of war in Sioux camps till ho was
obi, but in Rod Cloud's case It was
different unit from that time ou ho
was not only listened to, but given
command in many instances.
In 1818, when new Fort Kearney was
established near its piosont site, the
soldiers soon found out that Red
Cloud was their worst foe. From that' hud none of the features

Tho picture of Rod Cloud given here
is one of tho hreoonly authentic ones
in existence. The chief never would
allow a photograph tube taken of him
self until, in the summer of HKM), lio
was traveling up tho Running Water,
in Sioux county, with a few others of
his tribe, when ho came to the ranch
of Cook brothers. One of the Cooks
was a good speaker of the Sioux lan
guage and, as there happened to bu a
photographer there, besides myself, he
coaxed the old man to have a photo
taken. At llrst he refused, but on the
promise of being presented with a fat
cow he came to terms aud tho picture
was taken, from which thoro wero
