Oglala Sioux chief Crazy Horse is fatally bayoneted by a U.S. soldier
after resisting confinement in a guardhouse at Fort Robinson,
Nebraska. A year earlier, Crazy Horse was among the Sioux leaders
who defeated George Armstrong Custer’s Seventh Cavalry at the Battle of
Little Bighorn in Montana Territory. The battle, in which 265 members
of the Seventh Cavalry, including Custer, were killed, was the worst
defeat of the U.S. Army in its long history of warfare with the Native
Americans.
After the victory at Little Bighorn, U.S. Army forces led by Colonel
Nelson Miles pursued Crazy Horse and his followers. His tribe suffered
from cold and starvation, and on May 6, 1877, Crazy Horse surrendered
to General George Crook at the Red Cloud Indian Agency in Nebraska.
He was sent to Fort Robinson, where he was killed in a scuffle with
soldiers who were trying to imprison him in a cell.
