He was the greatest Indian warrior of the nineteenth century. His victory over General Custer at the battle of Little Bighorn in 1876 was the worst defeat inflicted on the frontier Army. And the death of Crazy Horse in federal custody has remained a controversy for more than a century. The Killing of Crazy Horse pieces together the many sources of fear and misunderstanding that resulted in an official killing hard to distinguish from a crime. A rich cast of characters, whites and Indians alike, passes through this story, including Red Cloud, the chief who dominated Oglala history for fifty years but saw in Crazy Horse a dangerous rival; No Water and Woman Dress, both of whom hated Crazy Horse and schemed against him; the young interpreter Billy Garnett, son of a fifteen-year-old Oglala woman and a Confederate general killed at Gettysburg; General George Crook, who bitterly resented newspaper reports that he had been whipped by Crazy Horse in battle; Little Big Man, who betrayed Crazy Horse; Lieutenant William Philo Clark, the smart West Point graduate who thought he could “work” Indians to do the Army’s bidding; and Fast Thunder, who called Crazy Horse cousin, held him the moment he was stabbed, and then told his grandson thirty years later, “They tricked me! They tricked me!”At the center of the story is Crazy Horse himself, the warrior of few words whom the Crow said they knew best among the Sioux, because he always came closest to them in battle. No photograph of him exists today.The death of Crazy Horse was a traumatic event not only in Sioux but also in American history. With the Great Sioux War as background and context, drawing on many new materials as well as documents in libraries and archives, Thomas Powers recounts the final months and days of Crazy Horse’s life not to lay blame but to establish what happened.

One of the best researched and well-written books which I have read on this subject of a very disturbing period in the dark history of our country, the United States Government's explicit genocide policies at the highest level towards the Native American peoples.Chapter 24, "The Soldiers could not go any further, and they knew that they had to die", beginning on page 302, provides intimate details of the actual timeline of the Battle of the Little Big Horn, which was led by Oglala Sioux Chief Crazy Horse -- not by Sitting Bull, which many people have been led to believe. The horror of that battle, brought about by the overzealous and careless actions of Colonel George Armstrong Custer, attacking the Indian camps protected by thousands of able warriors, coupled with Crazy Horse's extraordinary generalship, plays out before your very mind's eye.The story is brought to its inevitable conclusion, the Killing of Crazy Horse, documenting the policies of the US Military Command, in the charge of General of the Army Philip Sheridan under the direction of President Ulysses S. Grant, and in collusion with Sioux chiefs of various tribes who had grown to fear and envy the power of Crazy Horse and his followers, eventually turning traitor against him for their own benefit.
