Well, let me tell ya, this Crazy Horse fella, he’s a real famous one, but folks say there ain’t no real picture of him. Yup, not a single one that people can say for sure, “That’s him!” You might wonder, how come such a well-known warrior like him don’t have no picture? I mean, these days we take pictures of just ’bout everything, but back in the day, it wasn’t that simple. Let me try to explain a bit, but don’t expect no fancy words from me, I ain’t no expert, just saying what I know.
First off, this Crazy Horse, he was from the Oglala Sioux, a brave warrior, led his people through tough times. But he wasn’t the kind of fella that liked to stand out. From what I heard, he didn’t trust the white folks much, and well, takin’ a photo was kinda new back then. Some say he thought a picture could steal his soul, you know, them old beliefs. Sounds strange, huh? But that’s what they say.

Now, some folks claim there’s about 15 different photos of him floatin’ around, but lemme tell ya, none of ’em have been proven for sure. One fella says it’s him, another says, “Nope, that’s not Crazy Horse!” It’s all a big mess, really. Folks just don’t know what to believe. Ain’t no confirmed photo of Crazy Horse out there, no matter what some people say.
Then, some folks wonder, if we don’t have no picture, what did he look like? Well, from what I hear, people who saw him said he wasn’t real tall, but he had long, light brown hair and a scar on his face. His eyes, they say, were kinda piercing, like he could look right through ya. But again, this is all hearsay. Nobody alive today really knows for sure. They say he was handsome in a rugged kinda way, but there ain’t no proof to back that up neither.
Now, why didn’t he have his picture taken? Some folks say he just didn’t like the attention. He was a private man, didn’t want no fame or glory. Some say he was humble, didn’t wanna be remembered in no picture, just by his actions. I guess that’s how he saw things. And then again, others say it was about trust. He didn’t trust the white man’s technology, and well, you can’t blame him for that, can ya?
But here’s the funny thing, even without a picture, people still remember him. His legacy is bigger than any photo could be. They remember him for his courage, his fight, his leadership. He stood up for his people when times were hard, and that’s something no picture could capture anyhow.
So, that’s the story of why there ain’t no picture of Crazy Horse, at least not one that folks agree on. Maybe someday someone will find somethin’, but for now, it’s just stories and memories. And honestly, I think that’s how he would’ve wanted it. No fuss, no fame, just remembered for who he was and what he did for his people.
And there you have it. Crazy Horse might not have left us no picture, but he sure left a big ol’ mark on history, and that’s worth a lot more than any photograph, don’t ya think?
