American Horse Creek

American Horse Creek is a stream in the U.S. state of South Dakota.[1]

Some say the creek bears the name of American Horse, a Oglala Lakota chief, while others believe the creek derives its name from an incident involving a certain Indian horse thief and his "American horses".[2]
