Nez Perce/Mary Mountain Trail | |
August 25, 1877 - Violence eruptsThe relationship between the Nez Perce and the Radersburg tourists became increasingly contentious as some of the younger warriors, angered and grief-stricken by the unwarranted assaults on their people, sought revenge. Shots were fired and one man was left for dead. Five men escaped and the two women, along with Frank Carpenter, joined the prospector John Shively, as captives of the Nez Perce. | |
