Crazy Horse 35 - Custer 0

8, January, 1877 Crazy Horse was killed by his captors where he was being held after his surrender. Dee Brown in his book "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee" says that his Lakota name actually meant Enchanted Horse, The Enchanted One. Was there an error in translation or did white men want to degrade him?
There were others, Young Man Afraid of His Horses. The name actually meant that even the appearance of his horses struck fear in his enemies.
