How did the wounded knee massacre get its name?
The "battle" or "massacre" takes its name from a nearby creek, called chankpe opi wakpala in Lakota. This name, meaning "the creek of a wounded knee", was given to the stream (a tributary of White River) long before the battle, so it does not refer to any wound received during that famous encounter.It more likely refers to some much earlier fight between the Lakota and another tribe (perhaps the Crows).
How long was the battle Concord?
The Battle of Concord refers to when the British marched into Concord on 19 April 1775, searching for stores hidden by the members of the rebellion. They destroyed a few items. A small group of British went out to the North Bridge, where they were approached by Minutemen from Acton and Bedford. The British began to detroy the bridge so they could not cross it and follow them. Then firing commenced and some British were wounded and killed. This "skirmish" did not last very long, probably only a few minutes. The British return march to Boston started a running battle that lasted most of the afternoon and resulted in many more casualties.
