Death Spot of Little Crow
Hutchinson, Minnesota
Chief Little Crow was the best known leader of the Dakota War of 1862, which led to the largest mass hanging in U.S. history. A bounty was put on his head. On July 3, 1863, a farmer and his son accidentally came across Little Crow and his son, who were picking raspberries. Both sides were armed, shots were exchanged, and Little Crow fell with a mortal wound to the stomach. The farmer was awarded $545.
In 1929, a plaque was bolted to a rock next to the road than runs closest to Little Crow's death spot. It's a small rock.
