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.
