## Resource

No confirmed photograph of Crazy Horse exists. He refused to be captured by any camera, and that refusal has become inseparable from his legend — the Oglala Lakota war leader who defeated Custer at Little Bighorn, resisted every attempt to confine his people, and was stabbed to death at Fort Robinson while allegedly resisting arrest. He remains the most famous Native American leader with no verified image. This episode traces Crazy Horse from his vision quest through the Fetterman Fight, the Battle of the Rosebud, his role at Little Bighorn, and the controversial death at Fort Robinson that turned him into the most mythologized figure in Native American history. Crazy Horse's vision quest and the spiritual foundation of his warrior identity The Fetterman Fight, Red Cloud's War, and Crazy Horse's rise as the Lakota's greatest tactician His role at the Battle of Little Bighorn and the defeat of Custer's Seventh Cavalry The surrender, the stabbing at Fort Robinson, and the ongoing controversy over his death
