Crowheart Butte was named after an 1866 battle between the Shoshone and Crow tribes. According to legend, following a five-day battle for hunting rights in the Wind River Range, Chief Washakie of the Shoshone and Chief Big Robber of the Crow agreed to a duel to decide the winner. Chief Washakie slew his opponent, but impressed with his courage, cut out his heart and placed it on the end of his lance.[2]
