The Scholar Who Became a War Chief | Twist of Fate Radio
What happens when ancient tradition meets modern war?
Joe Medicine Crow grew up hearing the stories of Crow warriors—touching enemies in battle, leading raids, and stealing horses. But by the 1930s, those traditions seemed to belong only to the past.
Then World War II changed everything.
From a face-to-face moment of mercy with a German soldier to a daring raid where he stole fifty enemy horses while singing a Crow war song, Joe Medicine Crow fulfilled all four deeds required to become a war chief of his people.
This is the remarkable true story of the last traditional war chief of the Crow Nation—an unexpected twist of fate that turned a scholar into a warrior, and a warrior into a bridge between two worlds.
