Chief Thunder Hawk
(1810s-1870)
Warriors Citation
Thunder Hawk was an ally of Crazy Horse in several important battles during the Plains Indian wars. One of them was the so-called
“Fetterman” fight, in which Captain William Fetterman claimed he could ride through territory occupied by the
Sioux, Cheyennes, and allied peoples with eighty men.
Thunder Hawk helped arrange the decoy maneuver that enabled more than two thousand warriors to kill all eighty of Fetterman's
men in 1866. From: historical accounts & records
