Chief Big Foot(Spotted Elk) After the Massacre Wounded Knee
  This was after the massacre when they returned after a blizzard to bury the corpses and took this photo of his frozen body.  During older age Peaceful surrender On December 29, the 7th Cavalry intercepted the Lakota. Ill with pneumonia, Spotted Elk surrendered peacefully. The cavalry took him and his band into custody and escorted them to a site near Wounded Knee Creek, where they were to set up camp. The campsite was already established with a store and several log houses. Massacre at Wounded Knee Spotted Elk lies dead after the Wounded Knee Massacre, 1890 The night before the ‘Wounded Knee Massacre', Colonel James Forsyth arrived at Wounded Knee Creek. He ordered his men to place four Hotchkiss cannons in position around the area in which the Indians had been forced to camp. On the morning of December 29 soldiers under the command of Colonel Forsyth entered the camp and demanded that the Lakota give up their weaponry. In the confrontation that ensued, a firearm was discharged. It was later believed to have been by a deaf man named Black Coyote, who presumably did not hear the order to put down his rifle. A large gun fight quickly ensued. The US forces killed at least 150 Lakota men, women and children, and Spotted Elk was among those massacred. |

That is so sad and maddening at the same time. I'd like to have run that crazy Custer down and trampled him with my horse.

I've read a lot of books in my life but Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee was the most unforgettable. I had to put it down every few pages to compose myself.
