Looking Glass

Mile 75.9 U.S. Highway 1

In the village of Clear Creek, Chief Looking Glass (Elelimyete? qenin? (Wrapped in Wind)) and his band had just awakened on the morning of July 1when they saw troops approaching. Until this time they had maintained their neutrality in the escalating con?ict between the non-treaty Nez Perce and the U.S. government.

Looking Glass sent Peopeo Tholekt to parley with the soldiers. While they were talking, a gunshot rang out, and a villager was wounded.
