Anaconda Hero Brice Saves Child From Nez Perce Attacks
Pat Brice, a former Anaconda laborer, is celebrated for rescuing a young girl named Maggie during the 1877 Nez Perce uprising. He sheltered her five days in enemy country, aided by a friendly Indian, endured hunger, and guided them to safety at Mount Idaho where Maggie received care. Brice later was committed to Warm Springs asylum after recounting the episode.
