Moorehead, Warren King, 1866-1939. Warren King Moorhead letter to S. S. McClure [manuscript], 1895 December 2.

Title: Warren King Moorhead letter to S. S. McClure [manuscript], 1895 December 2.

Moorehead relates that Chief Red Cloud of the Sioux is in poor health and not likely to survive the winter. He describes Red Cloud as "the most prominent Indiean produced west of the Mississippi in the last one hundred years" and compares him to Sitting Bull, Chief Joseph and Geronimo, noting that he controlled the Plains for 40 years and is as revered as Grant, Washington and Lincoln. He solicits financial help from McClure to enable him to go to the Pine Ridge Agency with interpreter and Indian agent George Bartlett in order to interview Red Cloud and his associates for a history of "the wonderful career of this Chief...." He includes the name of Dr. Thomas Wilson of the Smithsonian as his reference and urges McClure to act swiftly.
