This is our last episode concerning the Nez Perce War of 1877. In the aftermath of Big Hole, the Nez Perce continued east, traveling through the newly established Yellowstone National Park. As it became clear that they were not welcome in Crow Country, the Nez Perce decided to head north to Canada and sanctuary. After exiting Yellowstone, the Nez Perce swung north, clashing with the Army at Canyon Creek. After crossing the Missouri River, they found a site known as Snake Creek or Bear Paw to rest. Nelson Miles took advantage of their pause and besieged them in what would turn out to be the last battle of the war. Cold, hungry, and desperate, they laid down their arms and the war was over. The trauma of 1877 is still felt, but the Nimiipuu are still here. Take a listen. Have a question, comment, concern, or compliment? Contact us at americawarpodcast@gmail.com.

We continue our narrative on the Nez Perce War, concentrating on what happened at Big Hole Montana. After successfully eluding the army in Montana, they camped in the Big Hole valley, thinking they were safe. They were not. Colonel John Gibbon was in pursuit. In what could best described as a massacre in the making, Gibbon attacked the Nez Perce encampment early in the morning of August 9, 1877. As Gibbon's men fired into the tipis, killing women and children, the Nez Perce rallied, pushing Gibbon back. Besieged, Gibbon's command survived, as the Nez Perce bought time for their families to leave the valley. By the end of August, the Nez Perce were at the gates of Yellowstone National Park.

We continue the Nez Perce War with this episode. After the various missteps and mistakes by General Howard, the Army struck the Nez Perce again at the Battle of the Clearwater. While it could be seen as a victory, the Nez Perce escaped, leaving their household goods behind. A council among the Nez Perce leaders resulted in a reluctant decision to head east, over the Lolo Trail, to their friends in western Montana. Hoping that they would escape the war, they went east. Howard, belatedly, followed them. The Nez Perce arrived at the foot of the Bitterroot Valley and continued south, ending up at a traditional camping place in the Big Hole Valley. They were happy to have 'escaped' the war, but little did they know, one of the greatest tragedies of the war was about to happen. Stay tuned. Have a question, comment, concern, or compliment?

We are continuing our story of the Nez Perce War of 1877. In this episode, we will concentrate on the start of hostilities. With emotions running high, Joseph and his band left the Wallowa's of northeast Oregon for the now reduced Nez Perce reservation. When they gathered at a place called Tolo Lake, emotions got the better of three young men who murdered some ranchers along the Salmon River. The army responded and the first battle of the war, at Whitebird, began in June of 1877. General Howard, slow to respond, could not catch the bands as they traveled east. In the meantime, in a capricious attack on White Bird's village, it added to Howard's problems. Take a listen! Have a question, comment, concern, or compliment?

With this episode, we continue the story of the Nez Perce War of 1877. With the onset of the colonization of the Pacific Northwest, tensions gradually rose between the Tribes of the Northwest and these newcomers. Once the border between British Canada and the United States was agreed to, the U.S. quickly organized the Pacific Northwest. Isaac Stevens was appointed territorial governor and Indian agent. He met with the Nez Perce in the summer of 1853 to negotiate a Treaty. When anti-treaty factions learned of this, they interceded to make certain all voices were heard. Unfortunately, ten years later, the discovery of gold on the reservation triggered another Treaty which dispossessed many Nez Perce of their lands, creating the conditions for conflict between certain bands of the Nez Perce and the U.S. Army.   Have a question, comment, concern, or compliment?

The conflict captured the public's imagination, much like the Modoc War, of a Tribe wanting to establish a home, but not allowed. To understand the full measure of the Nez Perce War, this episode and the next will focus on the roots of the Nez Perce culture and homeland as well as the challenges to their sovereignty. Fur traders gave them manufactured goods. Missionaries brought Christianity to the Nez Perce homeland and were harbingers of change. Have a question, comment, concern, or compliment?

John “Liver Eating” Johnson was the inspiration behind 1972's Jeremiah Johnson but the real man's life was even more extraordinary than portrayed on film. Johnson/Johnstone was a sailor, soldier, fur trapper, prospector, scout, Indian fighter, and lawman. Sometimes a good guy, sometimes a bad guy, and always larger than life. Dubbed "Liver-Eating" due to a chilling tale of vengeance, he allegedly killed Crow warriors and consumed their livers, but are these stories true? Later in his life, Johnston assumed the role of constable in Coulson, Montana, and served as a town marshal in Red Lodge. However, his journey came to an end in 1900 when he passed away in a veteran's hospital in Los Angeles. Decades later his remains would be relocated to Cody, Wyoming, where they now rest alongside other legendary figures of the Old West.  Top of Form Top of FormCheck out the website for more true tales from the Old West https://www.wildwestextra.com/   Email me! https://www.wildwestextra.com/contact/   Buy me a coffee! https://www.buymeacoffee.com/wildwest   Free Newsletter! https://wildwestjosh.substack.com/   Join Patreon for ad-free and bonus content! https://www.patreon.com/wildwestextra   Merchandise! https://www.teepublic.com/user/wild-west-extravaganza   Book Recommendations! https://www.amazon.com/shop/wildwestextravaganza/list/YEHGNY7KFAU7?ref_=aip_sf_list_spv_ofs_mixed_d   The Never Ending Lives of Liver-Eating Johnson by D.J.

Bone Necklace was inspired by the Nez Perce War of 1877, which was described in a contemporaneous newspaper account as “a gigantic blunder and a crime.” The U.S. Army field commander, General Oliver “Uh Oh” Howard, had promised to make “short work” of the Nez Perce. Instead, for four months, he pursued them across 1,100 miles of Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana, only to be humiliated in the end. The Weekly Kansas Chief called the Nez Perce leader, Chief Joseph, the “Red Napoleon,” and the name stuck. Nobody was more surprised by Chief Joseph's military genius than he was. His own people had never viewed him as a war chief. He would have done anything to avoid the war that made him famous. The final engagement of the war took place in the Bears Paw Mountains in October 1877. The Nez Perce horse herd was captured, making it impossible for the embattled tribe to move children, elders, and sick or injured family members the final thirty miles to the Canadian border and safety. Chief Joseph finally surrendered, famously saying, “From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever.”

This is a tale of two survivors. One, affectionately known as Comanche, was an 8-year veteran of the U.S. military. He was first wounded in battle against hostiles on the southern plains in 1868. And, when Custer led the charge at the Battle of Little Big Horn, our veteran was right there with him. Wounded an astonishing seven times, he somehow survived and spent the next year recuperating. And, as you can imagine, he was showered in respect for the rest of his life and, upon his death, was sent off with full military honors.   The other survivor was Dewey Beard, also known as Iron Hail. A teenager during the Battle of the Greasy Grass. He fled to Canada with Sitting Bull but eventually returned to the U.S. and settled upon a reservation. Unfortunately, the Army came calling again. Once again it was the 7th Cavalry and once again, it was a massacre.

The Weekly Kansas Chief called the Nez Perce leader, Chief Joseph, the “Red Napoleon,” and the name stuck. Nobody was more surprised by Chief Joseph's military genius than he was. His own people had never viewed him as a war chief. He would have done anything to avoid the war that made him famous. The final engagement of the war took place in the Bears Paw Mountains in October 1877. The Nez Perce horse herd was captured, making it impossible for the embattled tribe to move children, elders, and sick or injured family members the final thirty miles to the Canadian border and safety. Chief Joseph finally surrendered, famously saying, “From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever.”  By then, the military skill of the Nez Perce and their generosity toward wounded soldiers and non-combatants had caused public opinion to shift strongly in their favor. At the start of the war, a newspaper in Portland, Oregon suggested that “extermination” of the tribe was “the only safe and permanent” solution for Indian “treachery.” Shortly after the final battle, the ladies auxiliary in Bismarck, Dakota Territory, invited Chief Joseph to a luncheon honoring the tribe's bravery and humanity. In subsequent years, Chief Joseph used his fame to advocate for better conditions for his people. He was granted interviews with President Hayes in 1879, President McKinley in 1897, and President Roosevelt in 1903. His likeness was engraved on the great bronze doors of the Library of Congress in 1897. He delivered a lecture at Lincoln Hall and published an article in the North American Review in which he spoke of equal protection in a way that would not be accepted into American law for nearly a century.  Chief White Bird was the only other chief who survived the war. His fame never matched Chief Joseph's, but his heroism certainly did.  Towards the end of the final battle, while Chief Joseph was preparing to surrender, Chief White Bird led 290 able-bodied survivors through the U.S. Army's siege line and into Canada, where they were finally safe. The Canadian government granted the Nez Perce political asylum, and the famous Lakota Chief Sitting Bull, who had also been given political asylum there, welcomed the new refugees into his camp. Chief Joseph could have escaped with Chief White Bird – he was still strong – but instead he stayed with the Nez Perce who could not travel the final distance on foot, and would need him in the difficult years to come. Chief Joseph's daughter (Sound of Running Feet) and her mother (Springtime) went to Canada without him. Few accounts of the war, then or now, acknowledge that more than 40% of the tribe escaped from the Bears Paw Battlefield. Even today, there is a small Nez Perce diaspora in Canada, where they have lived in peace since 1877. Bone Necklace is for them – the ones who never gave up. Who brought knives to a gunfight. Who in some cases had nothing but clubs made of wood and stone. Everyone had written them off. And yet they came through with their freedom still intact.

GUEST OVERVIEW: Julia Sullivan who taught in Ukraine at Berdyansk State Pedagogical Institute and Zaporizhzhya National University in 2016, is an author and attorney who wrote the historical novel Bone Necklace, based on a little-known war in Indian history, the Nez Perce War of 1877. Julia, who has provided countless hours of pro bono work as Executive Director and Chairman of the Board of MAIP (Mid-Atlantic Innocence Project) can address the parallels between the Nez Perce War and the current situation in Ukraine in hopes we can learn from the past.

• What the Nez Perce War may presage • “It's just heartbreaking how the ambition of a few can cause such damage and destruction” (Total Recorded Time is 18:19) If you asked 10 Americans what they know about Chief Joseph or the Nez Perce War, eleven of them would draw a blank. But could there be a parallel to the current war in Ukraine and a war in the western United States nearly a century and a half ago? Attorney, author, and historian Julia Sullivan says a definite “yes.” “I've actually spent a fair amount of time in Ukraine. I taught at Berdyansk State Pedagogical Institute and Zaporizhzya National University in 2016, and I still have friends there,” Ms. Sullivan says in an email. “Berdyansk is now under Russian control and the university (along with most everything else) is closed. Zaporizhzya is the site of the nuclear power plant that Russian forces infamously fired upon.” The author of the new historical novel, “Bone Necklace,” (Brandylane; June 3, 2022), Ms. Sullivan says both wars “are David & Goliath struggles – a small but determined army facing overwhelming odds,” Julia Sullivan joins us for this Bizgnus Interview Podcast. Please click here to watch the interview: https://youtu.be/nUGMsPsNuFE “It's just heartbreaking how the ambition of a few can cause such damage and destruction,” Ms. Sullivan says. She notes additional parallels between the Nez Perce War and the current situation in Ukraine. In both wars, an unlikely leader arose: Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce and President Zelensky of Ukraine and “both wars are completely senseless.” “The Ukrainian people, like the Nez Perce, face an impossible choice: submit to autocratic rule or flee their homeland, possibly for good,” Ms. Sullivan says. “Some Ukrainians may wind up in Canada, where the Nez Perce refugees did.” She adds that most refugees never return home. But in 2020, nearly 150 years after the war, the Nez Perce returned to Joseph, Ore. “One day, I hope to celebrate the return of Ukraine,” Ms. Sullivan says.

After the Civil War ended, Gen. Oliver Otis Howard was put in charge of the Bureau of Refugees, Freedmen and Abandoned Lands, the first social welfare organization in this country. But after the efforts of Reconstruction collapsed, Howard got as far away from the politics of Washington, D.C. as he could — he came to Portland. And it was in Oregon that he met Chief Joseph and led a four-month military campaign against the Nez Perce Tribe. Historian Daniel Sharfstein's latest book, “Thunder in the Mountains: Chief Joseph, Oliver Otis Howard and the Nez Perce War,” tells that story. We spoke to Sharfstein in 2017.

American History: Chief Joseph, White Supremacy and the quest for human rights in the late 19th Century. In his new book, Daniel Sharfstein tells the story of two men — Chief Joseph, the young leader of the Nez Perce who fought to keep his ancestral lands in the Pacific Northwest, and Oliver Otis Howard, the Union general who believed it was his destiny to send Joseph and his tribe to a reservation in Idaho. How the devout Christian and abolitionist Howard, the man for whom Howard University is named, came to conduct a ruthless war 140 years ago against Native Americans is the subject of "Thunder in The Mountains: Chief Joseph Oliver Otis Howard ---- the Nez Perce War." Daniel Sharfstein is a professor of law and history and co-directs the George Barrett Social Justice Program at Vanderbilt University.
