The great warrior finally surrenders.

May 5, 1877. Lakota war leader Crazy Horse and his band surrender to US troops at the Red Cloud Agency near Ft. Robinson, NE. It’s less than a year since he helped lead Indian forces to victory at the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Exactly four months after the surrender, Crazy Horse is killed by a US soldier, supposedly as he resists arrest.
