Who Was Chief Little Crow

According to historians, on August 17, 1862, four Dakota men killed 5 white settlers. When the Chief Little Crow heard the news that has happened at the farms of Robinson Jones and Howard Baker in Acton, made him really angry and covered his face in black and mourned the deaths of five killed person. One person even called his act of mourning as an act of a cowardice, to which he replied, “Braves, you are little children — you are fools. You will die like the rabbits when the hungry wolves hunt them in January.” Little Crow loved his tribe and decided to lead the tribe and stated, “Taoyateduta is not a coward: he will die with you.” Curtis Dahlin wrote every aspect of the war in his famous book, “More on the Dakota War.”
