Death of Crowfoot
The "Eagle", a paper published by the boys in the First Wisconsin Cavalry Regiment, gives the following account of the manner in which James Crowfoot lost his life. it says: "James Crowfoot, a member of Squadron "M", 1st Wis. Cav., was killed on Thursday last, 8th inst., in a horrible manner. He was detailed on duty at Fort "A". He had with him his horse, a wild animal, and feeling somewhat exhausted after his forenoon's work, went outside to take a nap, and let his horse graze at the same time. So he tied one end of the lariat, attached to his horse, to his arm, and laid down--a foolish procedure which has cost more than one man his life. The horse becoming frightened at something, ran away, dragging the poor soldier after him. When stopped the body of Crowfoot was greatly mangled and life had become entirely extinct.
