McConville Defines Pursuit of Joseph Band to Kamia
Capt McConville describes leading 18 volunteers and Col Mason with 100 cavalry and scouts in the chase toward the camas grounds. Two scouts were disarmed, others fired upon, and after skirmishing the force withdrew to a better position encamping for the night. Reports say Joseph’s men may split into small parties toward the Buffalo country as movements continue under Gen Howard’s command.
