Crazy Horse, the “ghost” who haunted the Army, saw his life turn upside down in 1870: a forbidden love earned him a scar and pushed him away from politics — freeing him for total war. When gold was found in the Black Hills, Washington broke the treaty and Custer invaded. In 1876, Crazy Horse defeated Crook at Rosebud and, at Little Bighorn, sprang the trap that killed Custer. The victory brought relentless pursuit, starvation, and surrender. Arrested amidst intrigues and a mistranslation, he died by the bayonet — and became a legend.

See u in history mythology hasn’t posted in 5 hours, is he OK? 😢 did you get it? 🤣
I have many personal connections to the story of Crazy Horse even though I am not Native American. I am from the Back Hills. Growing up, we were told stories of great Native leaders, peoples, cultures, practices, and the knowledge that the land beneath our feet is alive and sacred. It's my home, where my heart belongs, and where I want my ashes scattered when I die. Unfortunately , I also had a relative die in the Battle of the Little Big Horn. A 20 year old nobody whose military career got him swept up in the politics of the time and made him die young and afraid. I don't know if he had any real hatred towards the people he was fighting or if he was "just following orders", I don't care to know. He shouldn't have been doing what he did and the treaties should have been honored. They still should be.
Interesting
Poor Crazy Horse!😔.
He's a great warrior!.
Loved the insight into Crazy Horse and "forgotten history". Maybe a series in the future: great warriors on history's losing side. You did a great unbiased viewpoint.
