Crazy Horse

Crazy Horse's first cousin, Touch the Cloud, below. He was there with Crazy Horse at the end. He helped carry him into the adjutant's office with Hump 2 and Spotted Eagle to die in peace after he got stabbed at Fort Robinson. He also carried him out in a buffalo robe over his shoulder in a night ceremony right under the noses of the guards while the elders smudged a deer, cut up to resemble Crazy Horse's body also wrapped in a heavy buffalo robe to fool the soldiers into thinking his body was still under their watch. Their mistake was they granted us a short time to mourn in private. We took the body in a wagon to bury him. Some Indian police showed up later to watch us. So we took two wagons. One drove into the creek, leaving no tracks, and the other went a different direction that was easy to follow. The police followed the easy to follow wagon and found a lone driver with an empty wagon. Someday we will tell where he is buried. But it is still too early. For now we will continue to protect him.
