Abstract

"I also ordered in July, 1862, a company of cavalry to encamp in the Nez Perce country, near the agency for the protection of the tribe so far as practicable from the intrusion of whites who in search of gold had (previously to my being placed in command) invaded the Nez Perce Indian Reservation without authority to the number of 10,000 to 15,000 people in violation of the provisions of the treaty, and in contempt of the rights of the Indians....I left on the 16th of October for the NP country."
