Death and Burial
Pretty Eagle died on November 11, 1903. His remains were placed in a wagon box instead of the more common and traditional scaffolds. During the early 1900's his remains along with sixty other Crows were exhumed from their resting place along the Bighorn River by Dr. W. A Russell and sold to various museums around the U.S with some selling for as little as $500.
