Last Council in Wallowa County and Chief Joseph
A lengthy account traces Wallowa county’s 19th century disputes from the 1855 treaty era through Chief Joseph’s leadership. It recounts Nez Perce relations, Spanish-style diplomacy, military mobilizations, and the ultimate 1877 defeat and long exile, ending with Joseph’s 1899 visit seeking a new reservation in Wallowa County.
