Henryetta, Oklahoma – March 31, 1909. The Oklahoma authorities were left scrambling as rumors of the capture of Crazy Snake, the notorious leader of the Creek uprising, proved to be nothing more than a groundless whisper. Colonel Hoffman, the man tasked with capturing the cunning chief, dismissed the reports with a stern expression, stating that the old chief might be apprehended in some remote location by a stray posse, but it certainly hadn’t happened within the district occupied by troops.
