Crazy Horse in 1877. 3 1/8 X 1 1/2" $85.00
Additional troops were brought in from Fort Laramie and on the
morning of September 4, 1877, two columns moved against Crazy
Horse's village, only to find that it had scattered during the night.
Crazy Horse fled to the nearby Spotted Tail Agency with his ill
wife. After meeting with military officials at the adjacent military
post of Camp Sheridan, Crazy Horse agreed to return to Camp
Robinson with Lieutenant Jesse M. Lee, the Indian agent at
Spotted Tail.
On the morning of September 5, 1877, Crazy Horse and Lieutenant
Lee, accompanied by Touch the Clouds as well as a number of
Indian scouts, departed for Camp Robinson. Arriving that evening
outside the adjutant's office, Lieutenant Lee was informed that he
was to turn Crazy Horse over to the Officer of the Day. Lee
protested and hurried to Bradley's quarters to debate the issue,
but without success. Bradley had received orders that Crazy Horse
was to be arrested and forwarded under the cover of darkness to
Division Headquarters. Lee turned the Oglala war chief over to
Captain James Kennington, in charge of the post guard, who
accompanied Crazy Horse to the post guardhouse. Once inside, no
doubt realizing the fate that was about to befall him, Crazy Horse
struggled with the guard and Little Big Man and attempted to
escape. Just outside the door of the guardhouse, Crazy Horse was
stabbed with a bayonet of one of the members of the guard. The
mortally wounded war leader was taken to the adjutant's office
where he was tended by the assistant post surgeon at the post, Dr.
Valentine McGillycuddy. Crazy Horse died late that night.
