How did Crazy Horse die when he was arrested by U.S. soldiers?

February 24, 2020 by Karen Hill

When Crazy Horse left the Indian reservation without permission to take his wife to see her parents, he was arrested by U.S. soldiers.

When he realized the soldiers were going to lock him up in a guardhouse, he struggled against the officers holding his arms.

A soldier then ran him through with a bayonet.
