 I've seen the above on a few sites and was wondering if anyone knew its origin. Is it genuine? Does it really represent Crazy Horse? |

I was wondering about this too. Your inquiry prompted me to look for it and I found it. The drawing is a detail from a painted tipi cover photographed by John Anderson in the late 1880s. I scanned the page opposite 330 of BRULE':THE SIOUX PEOPLE OF THE ROSEBUD by Paul Dyck, Northland Press 1971. The scene depicts a Lakota warrior striking a Pawnee or Omaha woman. There is no reference of Crazy Horse with the photo, but this was one of his early coups. I doubt that the drawing actually depicts Crazy Horse though. Many Lakota warriors could claim this coup.  -Bob |

Couldn't bring that drawing into perspective. So, very keen eye. Thanks, Bob!
I don't see a Crazy Horse connection either.
