The Life & Death of Crazy Horse, Oglala on Archive

 Salvete Omnes,






I am writing this post on the eve of the anniversary of Crazy Horse's death, who was a very brave warrior and blotahunka (war leader) of the Oglala Lakota/Sioux. Here are Frank Grouard's recollections about Crazy Horse. Or you can read Frank's biography on Archive.




Crazy Horse, held by Little Big Man, was bayoneted and mortally wounded by the US soldier at Camp (later Fort) Robinson, Nebraska Territory, while in process of being detained and imprisoned by  the government on September 5, 1877. He died there, and his body was taken away for proper burial by his father, Old Man Crazy Horse/Worm.









On Archive - world library - there are books dealing with the life and in particular the tragic death of this Lakota warrior and leader. You can borrow them to read and peruse & study.



for example -
The life and death of Crazy Horse by Russell Freedman.

The surrender and death of Crazy Horse : a source book about a tragic episode in Lakota history - sources compiled by Richard G. Hardorff .

The Killing of Chief Crazy Horse : three eyewitness views - edited by Robert A. Clark.
