Red Shirt, or "Ógle Lúta" is remembered by his people as the "Grand Traveler," a man who possessed the rare ability to master the complexities of two vastly different worlds without losing the essence of his Lakota soul. His achievement was the preservation of Lakota prestige. He carried himself with such inherent nobility that even those who knew nothing of the Great Plains were forced to respect the nation he represented. To his people, Red Shirt was the "Elegant Warrior," the man who proved that a Lakota leader could conquer the world with his presence as effectively as he once defended the Black Hills with his courage.
