Chief Red Cloud's Political Role
Is Subject of Book by Dr. Olson
By Karen Long
A famous American Indian chief's role
in politics is the subject .of a book being
authored by Dr. James C Olson, chair
man of the department of history, who
recently returned from a six-month fel
lowship in Rome.
The book, a general historical mono
graph, is a study of Indian military and
interior relations. The title is tentatively
"Red Cloud: A Problem in Politics.'"
Warpath Years
Problems .dealt with in the book concern
the Sioux Indians during the time span of
the Sioux chief Red Cloud's life. It was
during that time the Indians were on the
warpath and were moved to the reserva
tions. His life was a good vehicle with which
to connect the military problems of sub
duing the Indians and that of establishing
administration of the reservation, Olson
believes.
Olson refers to the chief as a forceful
leader and a difficult type with whom to
deal.
A study of relationships helps to throw
light on the dealings with -other minority
groups of the 19th century as well as those
with the Indians, Olson said.

canning crops research at the
University according to Dr.
J. O. Young, chairman of the
Department of Horticulture
and Forrestry.

state believe that research on
vegetable crops might help
Nebraska attract a substan
tial share of the nation's bil
lion dollar vegetable canning
industry," Dr. Young noted.
Money pledged for research
wfll make it possible to estab
lish at least two crop testing
districts in central Nebraska.

Olson when be wot director f the State
Historical Society, before be came to the
University in 1956.
Other books She has written include -"The
Life of J. Staling Morton," and "History
of Nebraska, as well as contributions to
a book concerning World War H published
by the University of Chicago, and numer
ous chapters for .others.
Good Preferences
The Woods Faculty Fellowship which
was granted to him last year is mot con
nected with a university. This enabled Dr.
Olson to spend the summer and first se
mester in Rome which he chose because
.of access lo a good ref erence library. This
he needed to compile the information and
writing -of the first draft.
Dr. Olson noted thai las casual research
as a tourist made him aware of what needs
to be done in this country with foreign
languages and histories of other peoples.
He said he feels that those training for
positions of leadership are really training
far position of world leadership.
"The more American leaders know
about the world the more adequate his
leadership will be," he einphasized.
