On It also Is a bronze tablet which tells the passer-bthat near this spot on September 8. 1877, Crazy Horse of the Oglala Sioux was killed dying as he bad lived, a fighting man. Chief Crazy Horse (Tushunka Witko) was ouly thirty three years old when bis warrior career ended, but he had already written his name high In the annals of the Old West A1 though he was the principal leader In the two greatest victories ever won by his people over the white men. It was the Irony of fate that in each case credit for the achievement should be given to another Sioux chief whose nuine and fame happened to be more familiar to the white men than was Crazy Horses. One of them was lied Cloud, whom most historians record as beFettermnn Masing the leader In the sacre" near Fort Phil Kearuey, Wyo., In 180(5, despite the testimony of Indian survivors that he was neither In command that day nor did he hnve any hand in planning or carrying out the ambush of Fetterman's command. The other was Sitting Hull, who Is popularly (and erroneously) believed to have been mainly re sponsible for the maneuvers of the Indians which resulted In the disaster to Custers command on the Little Itig Horn In Montana ten years later. Crazy Horse was born In 1841, the son of an Oglala Sioux chief of the same name. His mother died when he was two years old, but his stepmother, who was also his aunt, raised him as her own. Trained by her and his father in the rigorous physical regime required of young boys of the Sioux, he early learned the lessons of courage, generosity, modesty, truthfulness and fair dealing which so strongly characterized his Inter life. A fine horseman and a skillful hunter, he joined his first war party when he was only sixteen years old and by the time of the first serious war between the Sioux und the whites ( Slid) Crazy Horse's tribesmen looked to him ns a principal war leader, and even the Cheyenne chiefs, allies of the Sioux, practically acknowledged his leadership. Although Crazy Horse had distinguished himself In the Fettennan battle and at the fnmous Wagon Box Fight a year later, he rose to his greatest heights us a general in 1S76 and 1877. On June 17, 1S715, he attacked the army of Gen. George Crook on the Rosebud river In Montana r and fought that experienced to a standstill, thus breaking up the armys plan of campaign and making certain the annihilation of Custers command a week later. The only army officer who defeated him fairly and squarely was Gen. Nelson A. Miles (Iiear Coat") who did that at Battle butte In the Wolf mountains In Montana on January 8, 1877, an engagement which led directly to Crazy Horse's surrender a few months later. By this time the hostile Sioux had begun to realize that the white man was too powerful for them. Through the influence of Chief Spotted Tuil of the Brule Sioux, an uncle of Crazy Horse, the Oglala chieftain was persuaded to come In to Fort Itobinson, Neb., and surrender, which he d l, 1 Indian-llghte- did on May 6, 1877. At the time of Crazy Horse's surrender, his wife was suffering from tuberculosis, and the medical care given her by Dr. V. T. McGilly-eudda surgeon with the Third cavalry, not only won for him the friendship of the Oglala chief hut also the name of Wasicu Wnkan, the White Miracle Man" and Tasunka Witko Kola, the Friend of Crazy Horse. The events leading up to Crazy Horses death are told in this account by Doctor McGillycuddy, who is still living In California: "In September, 1877, General Crook held nn Important council at Fort Itobinson with Crazy Horse. I was In the Indian camp that day and the council was a heated one.

This Impression regarding the desertion of Crazy Horse was the result of a purposeful misinterpretation by the government Interpreter who was an enemy and feared Crazy Horse. Of this I was Informed by Louis Bordeaux, a reliable man who checked the Interpreting. The feeling was added to by Bed Clouds Jealousy of Crazy Horses increasing power and importance. Three days later a courier arrived from General Crook who had gone to Fort Laramie, Wyo., with orders to General Bradley, commandant at Fort Robinson, to arrest Crazy Horse. The next morning a force of three troops of cavalry and a field piece and myself as medical officer left the post an hour before daylight for a march of five miles to the camp to make the arrest. We arrived at daylight and found but a deserted camp ground. Crazy Horse and his people, lodges and everything had scattered and gone. That evening a courier arrived from Major Burke, commanding at the Spotted Tall agency 40 miles east, saying that Crazy Horse had arrived alone and was in Spotted Tail's camp. An order was sent to Major Burke to arrest Crazy Horse and return him to Fort Robinson. Burke Informed Chief Spotted Tall of his orders. Spotted Tails reply was: Crazy Horse is a chief. He Is my guest. He cannot be arrested, but If the soldier chief will set the time we will council with him. "At 9:00 a. m. next day Spotted Tail and Crazy Horse appeared at Burkes office. Crazy Horse was not Informed that he was a prisoner but that General Bradley at Fort Robinson wanted him there for a council. His reply was: It Is well. 1 will go. Entering the waiting ambulance, and surrounded by Indian scouts and a cavalry escort, he started for Fort Robinson. At 8:00 p. m. they arrived at the adjutant's office. In the meantime Bradley had Issued orders to Captain Kennlngton, officer of the day, that immediately upon his arrival Crazy Horse was to be confined In the guard house. Anticipating the arrival, I was standing In front of the adjutants office and shook hands with Crazy Horse on his arrival. He entered and said he was there for council. But Instead of meeting Bradley, he was taken charge of by Bennington and was led to the guard house which they entered quietly. 'When Crazy Horse observed the steel bars between the guard room and the cells he gave an outcry: This is a prison! and, seizing a knife In each hand from his bolt, fought his way to the parade ground where I was standing. Kenninfeton was hanging on one wrist and Little Big Man. an Indian scout, on the other. Then, the chief suddenly fell to the ground, writhing and groaning. I worked my way In between the guard and examined him. He was frothing at the mouth, pulse weak and Intermittent, blood trickling from the upper edge of his hip. A private of the Ninth infantry bad transfixed him with his bayonet and his case was hopeless. I then worked my way to American Horse, the friendly chief, who was sitting on bis horse and informed him that Crazy Horse was badly hurt and that we would place him In the guard bouse and I would care for him. Ills answer was: No, Wasicu Wakan, he Is a chief and can not be put In prison. The officers were at their quarters, orderlies had vanished and no one to carry orders. So I tried to arrange matters and advised Kennlngton to hold the ground while I crossed the parade ground to the general's quarters to explain matters. That resulted as follows: 1lease give my compliments to the officer of the day. He Is to carry out his original orders and put the Indian In the guard house. I returned to Kennlngton and we proceeded to put the Indian In the guard house. As we started to lift him, a tall Sioux grasped my hand and In the sign language said that they did not want to see me hurt and for me to desist. The Indians had begun cocking their rifles. So, another trip to the general to explain matters and I remarked to him: General, I know the temper and feelings of these Indians. You may be able to Imprison Crazy Horse, but It will mean the death of a good many soldiers and Indians. If you will pardon me for suggesting It, we may he able to compromise on the adjutants office where I can care for him, for he will die before morning. After much reluctance he acquiesced and I returned to the scene. On being Informed of what I had done, American Horse dismounted and spread his blanket on the ground. The Indians placed the chief on It and carried him Into the adjutants office. By administration of hypodermics of morphia, etc., I eased his sufferings. I remained with him until his death at 11 :00 p. m. and there were present then Kennlngton, officer of the day: Lemley, officer of the guard; old man Crazy Horse; and Chief Touch the Cloud (Mahpla Yutan), six foot four In height. When Crazy Horse died this chief drew the blanket over the face of the dead man and standing up, pointed to the body and said: There lies his lodge, then pointing up, The chief has gone above.

A thief entered the Christian church at Edinburg and stole the linen service from the communion table. to my quarters across the parade ground, accompanied by Touch the Cloud, who slept on his blanket outside my door through the night, as there was still danger of trouble. After I retired, word of the death of the chief got out and all we could hear were the walls and death songs from all quarters, as we were surrounded for miles by the Indian camps. The whole garrison of 1,600 men was kept on guard for the night, but matters finally adjusted themselves. Next day the body was removed to the Spotted Tall agency and placed on the usual platform.. Later In the fall when we moved the Indians 300 miles to the Missouri river. It accompanied us. In the fall of 1878 when the Indians were moved back to the preseyt Bine Ridge agency, the body was brought back and concealed there." To this day the last resting place of the chief remains a secret among the Sioux and, since It has never been marked, it Is altogether fitting that there should be some memorial to him, such as the monument recently dedicated at Fort Robinson, in the land he loved and for which he fought so valiantly.
