HISTORY: Tribe’s claim
to county still has merit
Continued from Page A4
Which reminded me that
Alvin once told me that the
Nez Perce claim to the country
still had some merit. Now, in
the library of books he left us,
and in the writings of Grace
Bartlett, the local historian
who put together a day-by-
day account of the last days
of Indians here, I consider
this. In 1873, President Grant
came to the same conclusion,
that the Treaty of 1863 was in-
valid. He rescinded the treaty,
W
and determined that the Nez
Perce should have half of the
Wallowa Country. His agents
went so far as to assess the
improvements on the land in
anticipation of paying off the
settlers (some $68,000).
It didn’t happen of course.
Some settlers were dug in,
there were Indian haters in
nearby Union, and there was
fear of Indians engendered
by the Modoc troubles. Fi-
nally, fears rose to fever with
Custer’s debacle in 1876, and
the Nez Perce War followed
in 1877.
That is a too-short histo-
ry story. To learn more, one
could follow the Nez Perce
National Historical Park
sites along the trail that took
the Joseph Band and other
non-treaties almost to Can-
ada, where Sitting Bull is
supposed to have waited for
them.
