Can anyone recommend a good source of information regarding this battle between the Lakota and Crows? I've learned that the Unkpapa warrior Crow King received his name from this fight and became a war chief around the same time. It was also the conflict in which Sitting Bull's father was killed by the Crow.

Hi Glenbow, I sent you a PM. What is your source on Crow King receiving his name in this battle? The battle was fought in June 1858 (confirmed by primary sources) so he would have been 20 years old (born 1838), and is around the same time when he became a blotahunka according to Stanley Vestal. Also see our discussion of quite a while back on Crow King: amertribes.proboards.com/thread/1571/crow-king |
