The Country Between The Two Forts

The country between Fort Robinson in Nebraska and Fort Laramie in Wyoming — and the broader territory that connects those points to the Pine Ridge Reservation — is the landscape of the final phase of Crazy Horse’s life.

Fort Laramie was the site of the 1868 treaty that guaranteed the Black Hills to the Lakota.

Fort Robinson was the site of Crazy Horse’s death.

The country between them and the territory north and east toward Pine Ridge is the landscape within which the burial mystery is situated.
