Corn
was a Miniconjou chief painted by Catlin in 1832 - to judge
by his appearance he may have been born in the late 1780s/early
1790s. Since writing the Crazy Horse biography I have located
winter count evidence that he died in 1846 or '47. His children
included such sons as Bull Head (possibly two bearing the
name, the eldest dying before ca. 1850), Has Horn (and maybe
some uncles of Crazy Horse that seem to fit in here: Ashes,
Spotted Crow); and daughters Red Leggings Woman, Kills Enemy,
and Iron Between Horns. The latter two married Oglala holy
man Worm (father of Crazy Horse by his first wife Rattle
Blanket Woman - also Miniconjou and related to the later
wives). Red Leggings Woman married a Miniconjou called Woman
Breast, and their children included Julia Iron Cedar - born
1864, who identified Crazy Horse as her brother - entirely
correctly according to the Lakota kinship system. —
