Perces and Governor I. I. Stevens of
Washington territory, Joseph drew a
circle around a small spot on the
ground, representing the Imnaha val
ley, and was given that spot to hold ;
perpetually, for himself and his pos-
terity. I
Inva-lon of Whites. '
But fate willed otherwise. The
land-hungry white man was crowding
into the West. Indian rights were
slightly regarded and In the early '70s
settlers Invaded the Imnaha, the sa
cred possession of Joseph's tribe of
the Nez Perce.
Old Chief Joseph had died mean
while, leaving young Joseph and Oll
ut. his only children, but on his
deathbed the old chief had laid a sol
emn vow upon the two youths, that
the Imnaha should never pass from
their possession, and that they would
delend it against all encroachments.
The Indians complained of the en
czoachment of the whites, and finally
one afternoon, a settler named Find
lay, found his wife and children hid
den In the brush, having been run
away from, home by an Indian. The
Indian was stretched out on a bed In
the house, enjoying a nap, and when
Flndlay entered his home and found
it deserted by the family he supposed
the Indian bad killed them, and be
fore the big Nei Pree could escape.
Flndlay shot him dead.
War Begiiii.
This started the war. The Indians
in a war dancv on the White Bird,
over ln Idaho, a few months after
ward, vowed to avenge the death of
this member of the tribe, and accord
ingly. rihop-int-!lp-llp and Wa-ll-tllk,
two deHrrate brave, went to the Im
naha, and killed a settler, to avenge
the murder of the Indian by Flndlay.
The wo braves then returned to
the Nez Parce reservation and found
Joseph nursing a sick wife, unaware
of their marauding. They said to
Joseph that he would have to fight,
although he had acted a coward.
Stung to the quick by the Intimation
that he was a coward, the old chief
left his sick wife, said to the blood-
1 thirsty braves to follow him, and with
1 a force of warriors, started on the
warpath,

Captain Pern- was defeated and 31 j
soldiers killed. A rew days later 1 J
Lieutenant Raines and 13 men were

llouartlV Campaign.
Howard overtook the Indians at j
the Clearwater and fought a hard bat-
tie with them, the Indians retreating
and starting over the Lolo trail Into
Montana. When near the summit of j J,
the Bitter Boots Joseph met a detach- j
ment of soldiers coming up from Ft. ' T
Missoula, Mont., and while the chief
and the commanding officer were
parleying about a passage, which the
whites blocked, Joseph's band found
another pass across the mountains
and were soon safely out of reach In
the Bitter Root valley, on the cast
side of the mountains.
At the foot of the Rocky moun-
1 tains in the Big Hole country. Joseph's , Z
camp was surprised and taken, and
a savage hand to hand fight took ' J
place, both sides being willing to atop
the fight. I
Battle of the Ycllonttouc.
At the crossing of 'the Tellowstone
river, a pitched battle between Joseph
and Howard was fought, nearly all of
.Howard's mules and horses being
stolen.
Joseph pressed hard toward the Ca
nadian border, Howard in pursuit,
and it seemed that the Indians would
certainly reach the British line when
Col. Nelson A. Miles, then command
ing at Ft. Keough. Mont., started
westward to Intercept the flight of the
Indians, and after a hard march, cut
off the retreat of the Nez Perce at
Bear Paw mountain. Northern Mon
tana, where the combined forces of
Howard and Miles fought a five days
battle with the Indians, from Octo
ber 1 to October S, when Joseph sur
rendered to Miles, saying that he
would not surrender to Howard, as
Miles was the man who captured him.
In handing his rifle to Colonel
Miles. Joseph said: "From where the
suri now stands, I
fight the white
man no more."
Ollcut. Joseph's brother, was killed
ln the bot,,e of the Bear Paw- Me"
ens. or Newman, wno is in renuieion
today, escaped with 50 warriors and
3-1 women, the night after the surren
der and made their way to Sioux ter
titory. where they lived with Sitting
Bull for a year.
Prl-oncr of Wnr.
Joseph was taken a prisoner of war
to Ft. Leavenworth. Kas., and after
ward to the Indian territory, where
he was kept among the Cheyennes
for nine years.
On his return to the north he was
denied the right to revisit the Nez
Perce reservation, and has been vir
tually a prisoner of war since his cap
ture In 1877.
In the 75 days from July 27 to Oc
tober 10, 1S77, Joseph and his entire
band of warriors, men. women, chil
dren and outfit, marched about 1600
miles, and fought 10 battles and skir
mishes. It was the most remarkable
retreat and maneuvering In the his
tory of Indian warfare.
lo-cpli Wrongfully AcciimiI.
Joseph has been wrongfully accuse'l ,
of killing the Manuel family on the
White Bird. In 1877. In an Inter
view with Major Moorhouse a year
ago, Jos-ph assured him that his (
young men committed this murder. t
without his knowledge or consent. On I
that day he was at home with his!
sick wife. Joseph married a Royal ! I
Cayuxe woman, and the famous Moor-
house Indian twins are grand nieces
of Joseph.
Unwritten History.
Joseph also related an incident of
the war to Major Moorhouse which
has never found Its way Into written
history. Joseph said that while en
camped on the White Bird with his
warriors, a number of white women
and children were taken prisoners
and brought to Joseph's tepee. Theyi
wore put under strong guard for the
night, and after the warriors had gone ,
to sleep Joseph selected his most
trusted men and sent them as an es-
