Attack Across Clearwater from Kamia Narrowly Missed
A July 1877 dispatch from Col Weeks details a Sunday morning chase of Indians who crossed the Clearwater at Miramia. Troops with Gatling gun and Howitzer drove them from their position, wounding two soldiers. Generals Howard and Perry push forces toward the Lolo Fork trail as volunteers fortify camps and burn enemy shelters. Reports of Spokane killings surface but lack confirmation.
