Crazy Horse, a well-known Lakota war leader, fiercely resisted White American settlers encroaching on Native American land. He played a key role in battles like the Fetterman Fight and the Battle of the Little Bighorn during the Black Hills War. Known for his strategic skills and strong leadership, he earned respect from allies and foes alike. Despite surrendering to U.S. troops, he tragically met his end when he was fatally wounded while allegedly resisting imprisonment. His legacy was later recognized with a postage stamp by the U.S. Postal Service.
