Head soldier under Spotted Tail, but what else do we know about him and are there any more images?

"Crazy Lodge" listed as one of headmen present at council of Indian Peace Commission with Brules and Oglalas at North Platte, Sept. 1867.
Crazy in the Lodge was listed as the headman of 40 lodges in the tally of "Indian Lodges that drew Rations at Whetstone [Agency], winter of 1873 and 1874". He was recognized as one of "the principal Indians . . . that Major Howard considered as good and to be depended upon". His position was probably as an akichita leader rather than a civil chief.
Listed as belonging to the Brule proper village in the Spotted Tail Agency censuses, 1877.
1885 map of Rosebud Agency, National Archives, shows Indian cabins and settlements. Crazy in Lodge on south side of White River between confluences of Black Pipe Creek and the Little White . Extending eastward from his cabin are marked those of High Pipe, Black Horn, Ring Cloud, Castaway, Fire Heart, Bear Walk in Sight.

I like too much the image above. I have seen many books that labelled it "CRAZY HORSE - Oglala" photographer: Stanley J. Morrow - and i always have belived that it really represented him: a very proud, hostile and savage man!

At comment of this image, the author of the book write: <<The original of this photo is in the Morrow Collection (University of South Dakota). Enhance the authenticity of the picture also the description of a spoil take to the Crow by Crazy Horse, He Dog and other warriors, quotes by Mari Sandoz in his book "Crazy Horse": ".....any good Crow's horses and a couple of those wool's cloaks with hood that shelter from the winter's storm....". In fact, Crazy Horse almost appear clumsy by one of those cloaks, unfit to his figure. The face, also if hard markes, communicates anyway majesty and dignity!>>. In my heart, i would want that his face had been truly so!
