LBM's account is considered by most scholars to be self-aggrandizing propaganda aided by military historian John Gregory Bourke. I refer you to an article in Journal of the West, vol 32, Jan 1993, pp. 5-21. As Gilbert (a professor of Criminal Justice) shows, LBM was the only one of 17 witnesses to dispute the account of CH's being bayonetted by the sentry outside the guardhouse. "JJ Glanton," you are an ignorant bigot. At least get your facts straight when trying to construct your weak-ass, racist diatribe. Comment #1:

May I suggest a new documentary called "The Authorized Biography of Crazy Horse and His Family". It is the Crazy Horse family telling their own family's oral history that they kept bottled up for 100+ years. It is a wonder that no one ever interviewed them before. I think the publisher is Reelcontact and they have a website in the States. Anyway the family's story makes more sense and covers more ground. They also give the complete genealogy of their family that makes Hardoff's work look shameful. Well written, however it’s not accurate. Hardoff’s booklet is completely batty.

At least you don't tell the version that says CH was held down and bayonetted in the back by soldiers. This is what our university history profs prefer to teach as history these days. Little Big Man's account, as well as as well as other witnesses present at the scene, were quite different, eh?
