Crazy Horse And Custer: the Parallel Lives of Two American Warriors
“William T. Sherman to John Sherman, September 28, 1867Spring came late to the Powder River country in 1867, but when it burst forth it was glorious. By May, when the grass was coming up, Crazy Horse and Little Hawk had rejoined Red Cloud’s force near Fort Phil Kearny. The brothers had spent the latter part of the winter harassing the whites farther south on the Bozeman Trail, down by Fort Reno, where they fought a number of sharp little battles, but when the flowers began to bloom, the grass tu...rned green, and the birds returned, Crazy Horse and Little Hawk headed north.1 They were joined by young warriors from the Laramie Loafers and Spotted Tail’s Brulés. There was going to be a big Sun Dance along the Powder, then more fights with the garrison at Fort Phil Kearny. It promised to be a good summer.When the Sun Dance was over, the headmen of the Oglalas began to discuss their plans. Both the civil and military arms of the Oglala government were represented. Old Man Afraid, the most important of the older chiefs, was there, along with the other Big Bellies.MoreLess
