The Mystery Of Crazy Horse’s Final Resting Place — And The Search For The Lost Burial Site
The protection holds.
The Fetterman Fight And The Early Resistance
Before exploring more dimensions of the burial mystery, it is worth anchoring Crazy Horse’s military career in its specific historical events — events that established his reputation long before the Little Bighorn.
The Fetterman Battle of December 21, 1866, is one of the most significant U.S.
Army defeats of the entire Indian Wars period, second only to the Little Bighorn a decade later.
It occurred near Fort Phil Kearny on the Bozeman Trail in what is now Wyoming.
