Description
Fort Robinson played an important role in the Indian wars from 1876 to 1890. Crazy Horse surrendered here on May 6, 1877, and was mortally wounded that September while resisting imprisonment. In January, 1879, the Fort was the scene of a major battle as the result of the Cheyenne Outbreak led by Chief Dull Knife.
In the 20th century, Fort Robinson became the world’s largest military remount depot, and during the Second World War, was the site of a K-9 corps training center and German prisoner-of-war camp. The Fort’s deactivation following the war marked the end of more than 70 years of service as Nebraska’s “Outpost on the Plains”.
