Figure 2 Mare of the Montana Bear Paw Campaign
The Figure 2 mare, a bright sorrel with a star and white bracelets, wandered from Iowa to Montana where she became famous on a Madison valley ranch. She carried White Bird on scouting runs during the Nez Perce war of 1877, crossing the border and evading pursuers before returning home years later to her old range.
