1822 Massacre: Where the Crows Were Killed

In 1822, a Lakota Sioux War Party decimated a Crow village north of the Black Hills. The details of this event are difficult to ascertain, but the 1874 Black Hills Expedition map lends credence to the story. The event at Crow Buttes should not be confused with the fighting at Crow Butte near Crawford, Nebraska.

I live in Neenah, Wisconsin just north of Oshkosh. I’ll try to go to the show this year, if you have a meet & greet time(s) let us know.

I will be in Oshkosh on the 21st, seeking to get some photos, and then on Monday, I will be at the South Pavilion for the full airshow. I believe I have a camping spot on site. In a previous lifetime, I lived in Madtown, so it is always great to get back to Wisconsin.

I ran across your channel by accident and really like your content. Not many people would put in the work you do so kudos for that. My wife and I took a vacation to Yellowstone in 1998 and I had the opportunity to see the Little Bighorn site and tour a little. We left Yellowstone and came back through Coty and Buffalo. Made a short trip to the Black Hills and Deadwood. We were so taken with the area we did another tour with my son and two grandsons in 2022. That was the flood at Yellowstone so we went to Glacier instead. Great trip. I'm an amateur history buff, mostly Civil War but some others including the Little Bighorn. I'm a Vietnam Veteran and served 5 years in the 1/155 armored bde in a mech infantry unit. So glad I found your channel. I apologize for writing a book.

The Sioux came from the Great Lakes region, pushed out by French fur trappers.

Martin,,the Chippewa pushed them out onto the plains. Humans repeat the same evils over and over, today it is the USA coveting the Russian natural resources while claiming to protect democracy. LOL! So sad really.

Torn rotary cuff is legit

Decent video with two exceptions: decimation is not the same as annihilation...it's almost the reverse, and it looks pretty stupid from my perspective to be doing your lifting while recording. Who are you trying to impress?

Our cat, "Boy," in classic redneck fashion we put on a leash outside. He enjoys the ruckus I guess. My employees live to tease me about the cat.

phil, you sound like a sad bore with few friends. :)
