In 1877,
White Bird Canyon was the site of the first battle between Chief
Joseph's band of Nez Percé and the troops General
Oliver O. Howard sent in pursuit of them -- a battle which left
one trooper astounded: "I have been in lots of scrapes, but I never
went up against anything like the Nez Percé in all my life."
