Custer there were too many Indians to fight, a warning Custer ignored. Bloody Knife, in turn, ignored <strong>Custer's</strong> plea for him to<br />
stay out of the b<strong>at</strong>tle. Bloody Knife was assigned to Major Marcus Reno during the B<strong>at</strong>tle of the <strong>Little</strong> <strong>Big</strong>horn and was killed<br />
by a shot to the head as he was standing beside Reno in the b<strong>at</strong>tle. Reno was <strong>at</strong>tempting to ask him wh<strong>at</strong> the Indians were<br />
doing when he was shot and his blood spl<strong>at</strong>tered Reno's face. Reno then lost all inhibition and barked out orders th<strong>at</strong> did not<br />
make sense before fleeing. It has been specul<strong>at</strong>ed th<strong>at</strong> Bloody Knife's blood spl<strong>at</strong>tering put Major Reno in a st<strong>at</strong>e of shock.<br />
Bloody Knife was beheaded by the Sioux, who took the head to their camp. His grave is in the valley, <strong>Little</strong> <strong>Big</strong> <strong>Horn</strong><br />
B<strong>at</strong>tlefield, Montana.<br />
