Dead Indian Pass to Clarks Fork Canyon

Troops throughout Montana had been alerted to the movements of the Nez Perce and an all out effort was assembled to converge from several directions to halt their progress.

Scouts gathered information about the movements of the Nez Perce relaying that information back to the troops over rugged terrain and hostile encounters making communication difficult. Ultimately it fell to the judgment and intuition of the army leaders to decide the best course of action.
