Crazy Horse, 1840 - 1877

Today on Murderhobos: Crazy Horse, the Lakota Warrior whose leadership against the US Army in the 1870s culminated in one of the most spectacular military victories of the century. He was a ferocious fighter on the battlefield, but at home he was a quiet, generous and spiritually sensitive man who left an impression of singularness oddness to all who knew him. His untimely death in 1877 marked the end of a period of Lakota dominance of the Northern Plains. What can Crazy Horse's life teach us about the means of resistance against the American Empire and the complicated life of the free people of Great Plains?  Submit questions to murderhobospodcast@gmail.com or on our Patreon discord by March 3rd, 2026.
