Story of Battle Told by
an Officer Under Miles

The battle on Snake Creek was
a more remarkable affair than the
Big Hole fight. Captain Henry
Romeyn, one of the survivors of
Miles command, describes it as fol-
lows:
Two battalions pushed on to-
ward the Nez Perces at at gallop,
but not till three or four miles had
been covered were the first drop
ping shots noticed. AS the troops
drew nearer these were increased
into a heavy fire. Captains Hale
and Blddle were killed at the first
volley at close range. Captains
Godfrey and Moylan were wound
ed. This left but one officer with
the three troops. All the first SER
geants were also killed. The SOL

On Snake creek, near the Bear
Paw mountains in northern Mon
tana, is the historic battlefield
where Joseph, chief of the Nez
Perces Indians, surrendered to
General Miles in 1877 and the last
act in the drama of Indian war
fare in the northwest was staged.
A series of shallow rifle pits, grass
grown for many years, are all that
mark the field where the plains In
dams of the north fought their last
battle with white soldiers.
Eighteen years ago this month,
Chief Joseph, greatest Indian gen
eral in history died, old and heart
broken, on the Tongue river in
Idaho, where he spent the last i'm
happy years Of his life. General
Miles once said of Joseph: "He is
the whitest Indian I have ever
When Joseph was told
of this remark, he said: General
Miles cannot compliment me by
calling me white. I could not in
suit good Indian worse than by
saying he was like white man. All
my life | have told the truth. I
cannot say the same of any white
man | have known"
In spite of the fact that the Nez
Perces were unexcelled as warriors,
brave and wary in attack, deter
mined and resourceful in defense,
hey were not in reality war-mak-
ng tribe. The history of the north
vest shows that they only once

whites, and that was when they

on the bleak plains, when the cold
blasts of an early fall caused great
suffering among his women and
children, he had to give up. His
indomitable spirit was broken be-
cause the assistance he expected
from Sitting Bull had been with
held. Sitting Bull was then just
across the Canadian border.
The humanity and generosity of
the Nez Perces in caring for the
white wounded on the battlefield
furnish the brightest page in In
dian history. The Nez Perces
never nutilated a body or scalped
a soldier.
Joseph surrendered to Miles on
one condition; that he was to be
allowed to return to his home in
Idaho. The government refused
to make Miles word good Gen
eral Sheridan, ignoring the prom

Joseph and some of his people in
exile at Leavenworth and later
moved them to Indian territory,
where half Of them died.
Joseph was later sent to Idaho,
where he died in 1908.

Lathrop. "Helena's last killing frost

making it impossible to plant the
small Hotchkiss cannon there. The
battle kept up until o'clock, when
it became evident that the attack
on the camp must be prolonged in
to siege. Troops A and d of the
Seventh cavalry and company G
of the Fifth infantry, tried to cut
the Indians off from water, but the
attempt was foiled with a heavy
loss, the writer, who commanded
the three companies, being put out

'"1he morning of October |
dawned on a sad plight. Some of
the soldiers had died during the
night and many of the wounded
were suffering terribly. Fifty or
more wounded lay huddled toge-
ther in little hollow place. A
storm set in and four or five inches
of snow fell, adding to the torture
of the stricken. In the evening the
delayed baggage trains arrived and
tents were raised for the wounded.

SO CALAMITY that they turned the
rout at the opening assault into
what virtually was victory for
them. They compelled the white
men who had driven them from
their camp to take refuge behind
breastworks and then they follow
ed the whites, hemmed them in and
harassed them for "a hours, only
desisting when scouts brought the
news of the approach of strong re-
Inducements for the soldiers.
The fight was one of the hottest
in the history of plains warfare,
and Joseph compelled the adnira-
tion of Gibbon and his soldiers by
his fine generalship. With the APP
proach of reinforcements for the
whites, Joseph took up his march
down the valley, numbered with his
wounded and with the women and
children, heading for the British
line.
The story of Joseph's march
across Montana lis more remark
able than that of the battles he
fought. Viewed from military
standpoint, this retreat was re-
as its course all the way
lay through an enemy's country,
and it was accomplished with less
annoyance to the people of the
state, than would have resulted
from a similar march by a hostile
white foe. AS long as he could,
Joseph paid for the horses and pro-
visions he secured. When he could
10 longer do this, he took them, as
my commander would do. But no
brutality marked the course of the
Iez Perces in their retreat.
Joseph had almost reached the
Canadian line when General Miles
'vertook him near the Bear Paw
Mountains, where the second fight |

fought on the Big Hole river in

Sioux wars and other campaigns,
but never had they fought Indians
who showed the courage and the
