Being observations had Crazy Horse had lighter than average Native skin t ones & fairly light colored,curly hair is there a possibility he shared " white" heritage? In other words was he a " half breed"? Combine with the facial features, this seems a possibility, if one is to be believe first hand descriptions.
I read that after he was murdered his parents removed his heart and buried it along the banks of Wounded Knee creek. That's where the expression "Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee" comes from.
I have a friend who I just lost recently to cancer who is a very large Nez Perce and he had a picture of himself with Crazy Horse's great great grandson... I wonder if we were going to find anything concrete here but we appreciate all the work you put into this.
"I never obtained his picture. His invariable reply to my request was: 'My friend, why should you wish to shorten my life by taking from me my shadow.'" Dr. Valentine T. McGillycuddy
I've heard, all my life, Crazy Horse avoided the camera because he thought it would steal his spirit. Also heard he wouldn't eat with metal utensils or from metal pots or pans.
Definitely that was true of Roman Nose of the Cheyenne. He's said to have eaten, unawares, food touched with a metal fork, which went against his medicine, and figured that would be the end of him -- and it was.
My great grandmother is Choctaw. There are no pictures of her due to her belief that the camera would take her spirit. Is it possible Crazy Horse believed the same.
Crazy Horse as a child had curly hair that was light brown in color. The color of his hair never changed even as an adult even though as an adult his hair was long "waist length" & straight. He was of light complexion for a Lakota with a slight slim build. His height was said to be between 5"6' & 5"7. He had a scar on his face. The information I have provided was taken from older Lakota people that were alive in the same time period & the few Whites that spent time around him during his time on the agencies. As far as pictures out there with claims to be of Crazy Horse I believe what Lakota people say which is to say there are none.
Thank You Bob. As usual, this was informative, interesting and unprepossessing. I enjoy the way you present all the materials and subjects you chose. As an amateur, (very amateur), history buff, it is easy to be captured by the events of the 19th century American west you present in your magazine.
I recall reading that some Lakota that knew Crazy Horse, in the 1920's after seeing an early western on the screen, said that William S Hart was the spitting image of Crazy Horse.
Wow that's amazing never heard that before being a fan of William S. Hart and having lived right down the street from his mansion in the Newhall/ Canyon Country area I think that fascinating
The boat you built looks solid bro and was probably his saving grace after everything got knocked out..solid bro good story with a good ending and one crazy dude who had one real sortie of note...glad he survived..
Hey Bob, big fan of the channel so today I ordered the Illustrated Life of Wyatt Earp in Hardcover, I am having it sent to me in Newfoundland, Canada so needless to say, it wasn’t cheap lol. I look forward to reading it and proudly adding it to my library. Cheers Bob and keep up the great work.
I'm Sioux and there is no photo of the great warrior. In fact, all the knowledge that we know about him was told by people who knew him or witnessed him in battle. He wasn't a man to brag about his bravery and feats, not even to his parents. His "medicine" was a huge part of how he lived his life and seeking personal glory wasn't part of his journey. The Medicine bundle of (Tȟašúŋke Witkó) CRAZY HORSE. "…They pitched their tent right beside the big cottonwood tree so they would always be able to find the place again. Inside the tent at night the family dug a hole six feet deep. But before they buried Crazy Horse’s medicine bundle, they decided to open it. It was about the size of a baby. On the outside of the bundle was a blanket. Inside the blanket were several layers of cloth. Inside the cloth was a bag made of tanned deerskin. It was this bag which would hold a man’s sicun (soul)-special stones that had power, or certain herbs and sweet-smelling grasses, or parts of animals that had visited the owner in visions and dreams. What Crazy Horse had placed in his medicine bundle is unknown. For when they started to open the deerskin bag, they suddenly heard a great roar of flapping wings against the walls of the tent; scores of owls were beating their wings outside, loud as thunder! Traditional Lakota's believe that owls warn of death. The sound frightened all of them. So they wrapped up Crazy Horse’s bundle and buried it right away. Twenty years later, the landscape has changed. The big cottonwood tree is gone. They could no longer find the spot where they had pitched their tent."
15:02 sums up my feelings about what Crazy Horse actually looked like. As much as I'd love to see a 100% verified photo, I'm sure that it would not match the image that I've always had in my head. l prefer his image to be a composite of all the great chiefs and warriors of the Lakota people because , to me, that's what he represented, the face of all his people that he lived and died for. To put it another way, "l am Crazy Horse... l am Crazy Horse... l am Crazy Horse".
The photo image at 10:00 / 16:42 .. showing eight women with a warrior standing to their right .. with someone in the doorway with a rifle and the cameraman in the foreground .. I am familiar with this image and was told by in my opinion a very reliable source at Pine-ridge that this was Crazy Horse and his wife .. and family .. the image strongly supports known sources about Crazy Horses appearance and does little to negate them ..
You should have asked or looked at his relatives on his mother's side. Phehin Yuhaha means Funny Hair and if you look at descendants of Body Parts and Walks as she thinks you can see wave hair runs in the family, on his mother side Grey green eyes will show up. Marting Charger who's grandparents were the same as Crazy Horse also had Grey Green eyes. That narrow face is another trait that shows up in some relatives.
Hey, would love to see a timeline of the most famous gunfighters, their locations, and see if they ever met, or how close they lived next to each other.
Good Video. Enjoyed it👍Original American Indian Tintypes are actually pretty Scarce compared to Cabinet photos. I believe it was likely The Photographer Mentioned in the Video -who traveled that area -with intentions to photograph a portfolio of known Sioux’ Chiefs was not able to photograph Crazy Horse. My take is Crazy Horse like most verbal accounts was Elusive and stayed away-thus the portfolio portion was not filled. 🇺🇸
Me. Bell I was wondering if you ever aired the symposium you did in tombstone last year go the 140 years and if so where can I find out I was unable to attend thank you
Hi. Great series. One question please. I know we have some different customs here over the water, but do you cowboys routinely wear your sunhats indoors? It seems a little odd, but no doubt some of our habits may well seem weird to you too!
Because to him any likeness was stealing his soul, spirit. It's why there are no real photos of him. The monument is a conglomeration of family members of his.
Enjoyed your piece on the alleged Crazy Horse photo'- I think I may be the 'English Scholar' Mark referred to? Twenty years ago I wrote an article for 'English Westerner's' Magazine on this very subject- I'm guilty of the 'nerdy' process of counting the hair-pipes in the breastplate worn by the subject- the reason I did that was because it was the only positive item one could ascertain the dimension of, namely the individual hair-pipes at 3/8 inch at centre, multiplying by their total number giving its over-all length, then measuring it as a fraction of the man in the tin-type which proved that he was about five feet one inch, or there-about; as most eye-witnesses attest that he was of average height (5ft 8- 5ft 10, this would rule out our subject- apart from all the other contrary , & was probably another evidence, e.g. the 'Ascot' tie, absence of a prominent scar, etc.etc. lastly, I believe the comment made to McGillycuddy was an excuse on the part of Crazy Horse not to have his picture taken- it would seem unlikely that the great man, almost alone among prominent Indian men of the 19th century, would have refused to be photographed due to superstitious beliefs
I think i found a picture of crazy horse. Search for the video "Battle of the Little Bighorn Episode3 - To Ford A" At time 10:47 there is a picture of indians and the guy in the lower right corner there is someone that looks to have a jaw scar that looks pretty narly.
Some historians were claiming that well known and documented photo of 2-moons was actually crazy horse. It’s like these false photos have become an epidemic.
I think the book is called hart stone or pipe stone maybe but its the best I seen on crazy horse. Lol like how u said french battle scare when we all know u were thinking Nazi ss duling scars.
One very important thing that you left out is that Crazy Horse was said to have had Blue eyes. Blue eyes are recessive so in order to express Blue eyes both of his parents would have had to carry this gene.
Maybe he had Viking ancestry, Ed. I'm not being facetious; there are tales of wandering Scandinavians throughout the northern States and eastern/central Canada.
Geronimo was a short but you would think of him as looking more like Wes Studi. I don’t think Custer was alive by the end of the fight. They could have taken his photo after he was killed.
How accurately is the Crazy Horse depicted in the Crazy Horse monument near Mount Rushmore? The sculptor had to have had some feedback from his Sioux ancestors. Can anyone elaborate on how that came to be?
I think Crazy Horse would be horrified by the idea of blasting his “likeness” into a mountain. I expressed this opinion once in a comment section and was sternly rebuked by a legally recognized relative of his called Floyd Clown. He said the family had been consulted etc. I felt really bad and meant no disrespect but I still think he’d be horrified…even though the monument, hopefully, will be beautiful and he should be honored.
Crazy horse had Iberian celt bloodline in his DNA from the first Spaniard who came to north America to conquer the land they do communicate with the tribes a lot
Thought provoking video. Is there any PROOF of how old Crazy Horse was when he got the scar? OR of when the picture with the single feather and bone breastplate was taken? He looked pretty young.
@@marklewis4421 No... THAT is why wanted to know how old he was when he got the scar. Seems they think it couldn't be him because there was no scar. I was just exploring if it was taken before he got the scar. MARKY OBVIOUSLY NO SCAR. That was not the question I asked.
The visage in the magazing of Crazy Horse is not very good. If you wish to get a better idea of what he would look like; look at his uncle, Spotted Tail. A much more narrow face. His cousin, Black Elk is similiar and very different from your depiction. Additionally, if you want to know what Hump looked like, Libby Custer's personal description of this man is quite good.
The Crazy Horse Memorial is based on a bust sculpted of Crazy Horse shortly before or shortly after he was murdered. The CH Memorial is what Crazy Horse looked like. Love your channel and True West mag too!
Yes, it's a scam. The story sounds good if you know nothing about the historical BTK. The moment you dig in, you find that the contradictions with documented "Kid" history and the records of Brushy's actual life are irreconcilable. One of Brushy's relatives even published a book debunking him. If Brushy did all the things he claimed, he would be greater than all the well-known Western figures combined. But he did none of it. He's nearly 20 years too young, and even registered for the draft in WWI as required by law for men up to 45 years old. Billy would have been nearly 60 at that time.
There are no pictures of Crazy Horse. The family provided a sketch & that’s all there is to go on. It looks nothing like that rendering! The tribe was starving to death, so he wouldn’t have been healthy. It amazes me how much people look at the legend and not the man. Geesh, peeps, get a grip!
I have his photo in my mind and it's nothing like your rendition. He was beautiful but the scr. Think French like.. even slightly feminine yet sinewy masculine.
There are plenty of eyewitnesses both native and Army and they all gave the same account on his appearance. Light complexion, light hair and high nose like a white man's.
There are some websites that can restore and remove all of the imperfections and restore the clarity of old photos. It might be that if the alleged photo of CH was worked on by one of these artists in restoration you might be able to see that facial wound.
QUESTION: Is this 'Albert Crazy Horse ' the same person on the Buffalo Bill wild West poster of chiefs? The one with sitting bull and 4-5 others colored and in little circles? It didn't look like your Albert , I'll tell you that . Either it's him and the mystery is solved, or this is a joke that went on too long ...🤔🤔🤔
Thanks for the interview with Mark Lee Gardner, Bob. Crazy Horse is a fascinating personality.
Being observations had Crazy Horse had lighter than average Native skin t ones & fairly light colored,curly hair is there a possibility he shared " white" heritage? In other words was he a " half breed"? Combine with the facial features, this seems a possibility, if one is to be believe first hand descriptions.
we know when and where he died, but we don't know where his grave is.... I love this man...
I read that after he was murdered his parents removed his heart and buried it along the banks of Wounded Knee creek. That's where the expression "Bury my Heart at Wounded Knee" comes from.
Tashunko Witko "Crazy Horse" 'aka' "worm" and "curly". Real American Hero trying to save his people. Thank you for the fair and respectful portrayal.
Worm was his fathers name, he changed it to Worm after he passed his name “Crazy Horse” down to his son, the “Crazy Horse” mentioned in this video.
I have a friend who I just lost recently to cancer who is a very large Nez Perce and he had a picture of himself with Crazy Horse's great great grandson...

I thought I had read somewhere that Crazy Horse refused to ever be photographed.
That’s what most say. But if you could find one it would be worth fortune so people will always try lol
@@TheRounder1980 there are no photos of crazy horse.
Correct.
Crazy Horse thought having his picture taken would take his soul away
The monument is a conglomeration of family members of his. He NEVER allowed his soul to be stolen. Any photo that claims to be of him is fake.
Crazy Horse was 5' 6" to 5' 7" tall . He had curly hair , light skinned and a medium to thin build . " Crazy Horse Lives"
Thanks for sharing. Always enjoy learning more about the old west from you Bob.
Awesome interview. Again thank you Bob.
🤠 👍🏾
Can’t wait for your next show , very much appreciated.

He certainly fit the Physical face description.
I had a friend who died 3 years ago who looked like crazy horse , was a Cree Indian !! and a good man !
How can one look like crazy horse if we don't know what Crazy horse looked like ?
Thank you for another fascinating story. Excellent as always.

You mean You're a LAKOTA?🤔
What was his lineage?
Was a interesting video.
But I always believe it been even better had he been interviewing one of your own people.
I would love to see a video on John Jeremiah Garrison Johnston, keep up the great videos
Great episode. Thank you
Wow amazing job Bob!
Crazy horse was very modest …no feathers
enjoyed the show.✔👍👌

Love your videos, please keep doing them
Love the true west..
Mark is a great researcher!
Never seeing the face of crazy horse adds to his mystique
I have a vague memory of reading that Crazy Horse wore his single feather pointing down. But it's only a vague memory of something I read.
The photo image at 10:00 / 16:42 .. showing eight women with a warrior standing to their right .. with someone in the doorway with a rifle and the cameraman in the foreground .. I am familiar with this image and was told by in my opinion a very reliable source at Pine-ridge that this was Crazy Horse and his wife .. and family .. the image strongly supports known sources about Crazy Horses appearance and does little to negate them ..
I knew his childhood nickname was Curly. Got that from a YA novel I read way back in the 60s.

U are a smart man
Need more information from you
Would not those who saw crazy horse with their own eyes have ever satt down with an artist to give guidance to capture his essential likeness?
Hey, would love to see a timeline of the most famous gunfighters, their locations, and see if they ever met, or how close they lived next to each other.
We sure did enjoy having Bob in Deadwood

Hi. Great series. One question please. I know we have some different customs here over the water, but do you cowboys routinely wear your sunhats indoors? It seems a little odd, but no doubt some of our habits may well seem weird to you too!
I read descriptions of Crazy Horse and the man was not very big, something like 5'10 and about 145 pounds. It's not the size but the fight in the man
Try 5'7" or 5'8"...by first accounts.
The man in the first photo. It is also said that there are photos of this man from Wild West shows. I believe there are two of them. In a group photo.
I wonder why he was not drawn.
Because to him any likeness was stealing his soul, spirit. It's why there are no real photos of him.
The monument is a conglomeration of family members of his.
There is a drawing of him..
@@jjdjj5392 Wrong, it's not of him it supposedly bears a close resemblance of him. Probably a conglomeration of family members.
Crazy Horse 'never' allowed his picture to be taken.
If there is one it would have to have been taken after he was murdered.
Mr Great great grandmother said Crazy Horse had dark brown hair
If I find a photo of Crazy Horse I will let you know Bob.
He, like myself believe photography STILLS (not steals) the Spirit.

Off topic maybe
What about Bushy Bill Robert’s from Hico Texas ? Is this a scam by his claim to be Billy The Kid?
Yes, it's a scam. The story sounds good if you know nothing about the historical BTK. The moment you dig in, you find that the contradictions with documented "Kid" history and the records of Brushy's actual life are irreconcilable. One of Brushy's relatives even published a book debunking him. If Brushy did all the things he claimed, he would be greater than all the well-known Western figures combined. But he did none of it. He's nearly 20 years too young, and even registered for the draft in WWI as required by law for men up to 45 years old. Billy would have been nearly 60 at that time.
There are no pictures of Crazy Horse. The family provided a sketch & that’s all there is to go on. It looks nothing like that rendering! The tribe was starving to death, so he wouldn’t have been healthy. It amazes me how much people look at the legend and not the man. Geesh, peeps, get a grip!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😐👌👌👌👌👌
There were ZERO pics taken of Crazy Horse. If someone shows a photo saying it's him they are liars.
😄👍
how he get the name crazy that a bad thing
What he looked like is irrelevant to what he did, geronimo and sitting bull are nothing like you would expect if you pictured them without seeing them
I have his photo in my mind and it's nothing like your rendition. He was beautiful but the scr. Think French like.. even slightly feminine yet sinewy masculine.
In England?? That's disappointing!
MSN in 1934 compared to today . Guess they didn't have the research TOOLS.
Never meet your heros
This is silly. There are things Bob will never know. Hard for him to admit.
A.I anyone?
Amazing how there is no authentic picture.
Reminiscent of how Roman Nose =/= Henry Roman Nose.
🤣🤣🤣
There are plenty of eyewitnesses both native and Army and they all gave the same account on his appearance. Light complexion, light hair and high nose like a white man's.
There are some websites that can restore and remove all of the imperfections and restore the clarity of old photos. It might be that if the alleged photo of CH was worked on by one of these artists in restoration you might be able to see that facial wound.
Well for one thing crazy horse was never a chief he was a medicine man or shaman.
This is new? Sitting Bull was a shaman/medicine man. But Crazy Horse? Who led in battle?
never meet your heros?
i think he looks too old. His own parents buried him, so he would look younger and not so heaverly set.
QUESTION:
Is this 'Albert Crazy Horse ' the same person on the Buffalo Bill wild West poster of chiefs? The one with sitting bull and 4-5 others colored and in little circles?
It didn't look like your Albert , I'll tell you that . Either it's him and the mystery is solved, or this is a joke that went on too long ...🤔🤔🤔
Theres a damn good chance Crazy horse had European ancestry.
