Crazy Horse’s tragic end.
September 5, 1877. The noted Oglala warrior Crazy Horse is killed at Fort Robinson, Nebraska.
Crazy Horse and his band are relocated just outside the fort at the Red Cloud Agency. There are rumors that Crazy Horse has been threatening to take his followers away, or that he intends to kill General George Crook. The rumors may have come from bad translations. Soldiers are ordered to take him into custody. During a brief disturbance outside the post guardhouse, Crazy Horse is bayoneted; he dies a few hours later.
