RED CLOUD, Neb. — More than 500 people packed the auditorium of the elementary school Saturday to dedicate a 10-cent stamp honoring Oglala Sioux Chief Red Cloud.
The 10-cent stamp is the 38th in the U.S. Postal Service’s Great American Series. A single-color brick red, it bears a head-and-shoulders pose of the chief.
Red Cloud was the only chief to defeat the U.S. Army during the Powder River War of 1866-1868, and he persuaded Congress to keep the Bozeman trail in Wyoming and Montana closed at the time so Indian hunting grounds would not be disturbed.
