1877
Oglala Sioux chief Crazy Horse is fatally bayoneted by a U.S. soldier after resisting confinement in a guardhouse at Fort Robinson, Nebraska. A year earlier, Crazy Horse was among the Sioux leaders who defeated George Armstrong Custer’s Seventh Cavalry at the Battle of Little Bighorn in Montana Territory. The battle, in which 265 members of the Seventh Cavalry, including Custer, were killed, was the worst defeat of the U.S. Army in its long history of warfare with the Native Americans.
After the victory at Little Bighorn, U.S. Army forces led by Colonel Nelson Miles pursued Crazy Horse and his followers. His tribe suffered from cold and starvation, and on May 6, 1877, Crazy Horse surrendered to General George Crook at the Red Cloud Indian Agency in Nebraska. He was sent to Fort Robinson, where he was killed in a scuffle with soldiers who were trying to imprison him in a cell.

Gerald Ford survives first assassination attempt. A woman named Lynette Fromme, approached the president while he was walking near the California Capitol Building and raised a handgun toward him. Before she was able to fire off a shot, Secret Service agents tackled her and wrestled her to the ground. Fromme was a member of the Charles Manson cult "The Family." After Charles Manson was arrested in 1969, Fromme and other female members of the cult started an order of “nuns” within a new group called the International People’s Court of Retribution. Fromme herself was still so enamored of Manson that she devised the plot to kill President Ford in order to win Manson’s approval.
