	National Park Service - Lewis and Clark (Lolo Trail)
		The Indians were finally vanquished in September-October at the Battle of Bear Paw Mountains, Mont. Both the Nez Perces and the soldiers, in the Weippe Prairie-Lolo Pass segment of the route, passed over sections of it that had been converted into a crude wagon road by private contractors a decade or so earlier, in 1866-67.
		At that time, about 700 nontreaty Nez Perces—men, women, and children—crossed it after the Battle of the Clearwater, Idaho.
		Battling rain, sleet, and deep snow, as well as hunger and dangerous mountain terrain, often hacking their way through dense underbrush and around fallen timber, gasping for breath in the rarefied mountain air, and eating some of their horses for sustenance, the half-frozen and thoroughly exhausted men trudged wearily onward.

	Nez Perce NHP: Nez Perce Summer, 1877 (Notes)
		Delineation of the shelter and rifle pits is in McWhorter, "Stake Tabulation of the Bear's Paw Mountain Battle Field"; and C. Raymond Noyes, plat, "Battle of the Bear's Paw," NA.
		It is likely that some of the rock cairns located in recent years on the battlefield relate to positions occupied by members of the Fifth Infantry and Seventh Cavalry during the night of September 30, and by other units as they changed places over the course of the siege.
		Because of the cover afforded by darkness, it is possible that the line of cairns located approximately 630 yards from the Nez Perce position represents rifle pits established by the Seventh cavalrymen or Fifth infantrymen that night.

		The most fundamental developments of the second half of the nineteenth century were the treaties of 1855, 1863, and 1868; establishment of the Nez Perce Reservation; and political dominance of the reservation by Presbyterian Nez Perces (Walker 1985).
