Low Dog (Lakota: Šúŋka Khúčiyela) (c. 1846–1894) (aka. Phil Cosgrove) was an Oglala Lakota chief who fought with Sitting Bull at the Battle of the Little Bighorn.[1][2][3]
He became a war chief at age 14. Low Dog provided an account of the Battle of Little Bighorn that was published in the Leavenworth, Kansas Weekly Times of August 18, 1881.[4] After surrendering in 1881, he lived at Standing Rock Agency.[5]
Low Dog is credited with the quotation "This is a good day to die. Follow me."[6][better source needed]
