On Dec 21, 1866 Lakota warriors led by Tasunke Witko (Crazy Horse) would have a decisive victory over the US military at the Battle of the Hundred Slain, called Fetterman's massacre by the US.
At Fort Phil Kearny, Tasunke Witko goaded the soldiers out of the fort and to giving chase to him. He was known to dismount his horse while soldiers fired at him, he would also race his horse in front of the soldiers while they fired at him.
