The Mystery Of Crazy Horse’s Final Resting Place — And The Search For The Lost Burial Site
What is established across the competing accounts: Crazy Horse was wounded by a bayonet at the door of the guardhouse on September 4 or September 5 (sources differ on the precise date of the wounding versus the date of death).
He was carried into the adjutant’s office.
He died around midnight on September 5, 1877.
Dr.
Valentine McGillicuddy, the post physician who was present at his death, later wrote accounts of the event.
He described a man dying with dignity, his father at his side.
He described Touch the Clouds, the large Miniconjou Lakota leader who had been Crazy Horse’s friend, as present and as the one who covered the body with a blanket when death came.
His father Worm was beside him.
