19. Origin of the Difficulties with the Nez Perces.

Author

Wilkinson, Melville C. and Cozzens, Peter

Abstract

This article is an excerpt from a letter which focused on the origin of the difficulties with the Nez Perce Indians, written at Camp M. T. Miller in Kamiah, Idaho on July 17, 1877, which appeared in the August 1877 issue of the Army and Navy Journal. Allegedly, few in the East can understand the cause of the Nez Perce war. At the time the tribe was given a reservation, it was held that an Indian chief was not bound to go upon it, submitting to U.S. authorities, because the chief did not sign a treaty. Years went by and the chief gathered a sort of miscellaneous lot, and finally, it was thought best prudent to seek to mollify the chieftain by holding councils, talks and the like.
