The Mystery Of Crazy Horse’s Final Resting Place — And The Search For The Lost Burial Site
Mari Sandoz’s 1942 biography “Crazy Horse: The Strange Man of the Oglalas” remains a foundational work on Crazy Horse’s life, though it was written with the novelistic approach of the mid-twentieth century rather than the more rigorous documentary standards of later scholarship.

One of the most important dimensions of the burial mystery is the question of who actually knows — or knew — the location, and what has happened to that knowledge over the generations since 1877.
His parents knew.
Worm, his father, was present at the burial.
His mother (his birth mother had died; he had a stepmother) may also have been involved.
Other trusted members of the immediate family likely knew.
