the excitement was somewhat allayed.
Reinforced by Captain Rawn's COM
pany. and company G of the Seventh
from Fort Ellis, General Gibbon left
Fort Missoula on Aug. in pursuit of
the Nez Perces. His command now
numbered II officers and LAG men
Moving as rapidly as his wagon train
would permit. General Gibbon covered
from 80 to IS miles per day. In his
march through the valley he was joined
by SO citizen-volunteers. When they
reached the foot of the mountains and
learned that the Indians had already
crossed, a number of the citizens be-
came discouraged and wanted to drop
out General Gibbon was successful in
urging them to stay a few days longer.
BY assuring the volunteers that they
would have leading part in the fight,
and all the horses that might be cap
tured, with the exception of enough
men would divide their last rations
with the citizens, General Gibbon sue
ceeded in reviving the enthusiasm of
the latter.
Bradley Goes Ahead
Lieutenant Bradley, with eight men
of the Second cavalry and all Of the
mounted citizens, speeded up their
march, leaving the main body behind,
in an effort to strike the Indian camp
before udyllsHL VI aug. dllu sIdiii-
pede the Indian horses and thereby set
Chief Joseph and his band on foot.
If this could be done, the soldiers be-
lieved it would be easy to defeat the
Indians The detachment, consisting
of 60 men, made night march across
the mountains, while the main COM
mand camped at the foot of the divide.
The steep, rocky road up the noun
tain was Distracted by fallen timber.
It took the detachment six hours tc
cover three miles. From the summit,
the road was much easier traversed
down gentle incline to Trail creek
and thence 10 miles into the Big Hole
basin. However, the road crossed the
creek probably so times and progress
was naturally slow and tedious. On the
morning OF Aug. 8, General Gibbon
received a message by runner from
Glacier County chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1931-1940, 1939-05-19

charging almost up to General Glib
bon's lines. so that the soldiers were
unable to get any rest.
During the night, General Gibbon
sent a runner, w. H. Edwards, TO
Deer Lodge for medical assistance and
supplies. This man made his way
through the Indian lines and walked
and ran nearly 60 miles to French
gulch where he obtained a horse. He
arrived in Deer Lodge on the morn
ing of Aug. II.
Reinforcements On Way
On the morning of Aug. 10, a mes
senger arrived from General Howard.
telling Gibbon that General Howard
with 20 cavalry men and 80 Warm
Springs Indians were on their way to
assist General Gibbon. The messenger
reported he had seen no sign of Cen
eral Gibbons supply train. Later in
the day a messenger arrived from the
train with the news that although 1t
had been menaced by Indians the
supplies were safe.
Early on the morning of the 10th,
Serg Mildon H. Wilson of company
K with six men was sent to bring
up the train and later in the day
Captain Browning and Lieutenant
Woodbridge with 20 men who had
volunteered for the service were sent
to take charge OF it. They succeeded

The last of the Indians withdrew
about II o'clock on the night of the
10th but the soldiers did not know
until daylight on the next morning
that they had really gone. Eighty
nine Indians. a number Of them women
and children. were left dead on the
field. Among them was Looking Glass.
Chief Joseph. in his own story, listed
the dead as so women and children
and 80 fighting men. Gibbon had lost
officers killed or MORALLY wounded,
q soldiers and 6 civilians killed, and
81 soldiers and 4 civilians wounded,
making a total loss Of SO out of 100.

TT WAS 81 years ago that Jo-
seph, chief of the non-treaty
q Nez Perez Indians, defied Gen.
o. o. Howard and the United
States government by refusing to
20 on the Fort Lapwai reservation
in Idaho. 1t was 81 years ago that
Chief Joseph, leading his band of
warriors, accompanied by their
women and children, and laden
with camp equipment and live
stock, carried out that remarkable
retreat of more than 1000 miles,
that has gone down in history as one
of the most amazing military exploits
of all times.
1t was 81 years ago that 18-year- old
Barnett Wilkinson marched from Mis-
soula with the volunteers that ac-
companied Gen. John Gibbon to the
banks of the Big Hole river, where the
battle Of the Big Hole took place on
Aug. 9, 1877. This was the battle that
broke Chief Joseph's heart. This was
the battle that marked the start of
the disintegration of Chief Joseph's
power. The battle OF the Big Hole may
be termed draw with the odds slight
ly in favor of the Indians.
Wilkinson, who recently died In Mis-
soula, was the last survivor of the
volunteers who fought in that battle
There may be other survivors, but they
are among the regular army men who
served directly under Gibbons COM
mand.
On Aug. 3, 1877, General Gibbon, a
seasoned campaigner in the Civil war,
and his command reached Fort Mis-
soula. He had been called post haste
from the central part of the state by
General Towards warning that the
Nez PerceS were headed in the direc-
ton of Fort Missoula. General Gibbon
summoned company F Of his regiment
from Fort Benton and company D
from Camp Baker. He ordered COM
pany K and every man that could be
spared from Fort Shaw to prepare for
the field. With the arrival Of COM
panies F. and D at Fort Shaw, Gibbon
and his command, with limited sup
ply of provisions on pack mules,
crossed the Rocky mountains through
Cadotte's pass and headed for Mis-
soula.
Hysteria at Missoula
On his arrival in Missoula, he found
the little trading center of western
Montana in a state of near hysteria.
The little community had realized its
weakness, but was prepared to resist
the advance of the Indians to the
limit of its resources. Captain Rawn
had a small company of soldiers at
Fort Missoula. The citizens had pre-
pared a barricade in one of the stores
of the town. With Gibbons arrival,
