Blunder by Howard cited in Indian campaign critique
The critique says Howard erred by misreading settlers petitions and trusting promises from Joseph and Whitebird, delaying preparedness and allowing a war council at Camas Prairie. It credits his later energy but notes protracted war and hundreds of deaths, with failures at Lo Lo pass and delayed pursuit of retreating Indians.
