Chief Joseph — Nez Percé. Photographer: Curtis, Edward Sheriff
- Scope & Content:
-
Head-and-shoulders full-face portrait: 'The name of Chief Joseph is better known than that of any other Northwestern Indian. To him popular opinion has given the credit of conducting a remarkable strategic movement from Idaho to northern Montana in the flight of the Nez Percés in 1877. To what extent this is a misconception has been demonstarted in the historical sketch of the Nez Percé war (volume VIII). Their unfortunate effort to retain what was rightly theirs makes an unparalleled story in the annals of the Indians' resistance to the greed of the whites. That they made this final effort is not surprising. Indeed, it is remarkable that so few tribes rose in a last struggle against such dishonest and relentless subjection.'
