nov 10, 1877 - Nez Perce War
Description:
The Nez Perce War of 1877 was a series of conflicts between the Nez Perce tribe, under leaders like Chief Joseph, and the U.S. government, which sought to forcibly relocate the tribe from their homeland in the Pacific Northwest to a reservation in Idaho. The Nez Perce demonstrated remarkable tactical skill in a series of battles and a long retreat towards Canada, but were ultimately captured just short of the border, leading to Chief Joseph's famous surrender speech, "I will fight no more forever."Added to timeline:
