Chief Joseph and Family Portrait--1880-- Framed Collectible

Chief Joseph-(March 3, 1840 to September 21, 1904), was Chief of the Wallowa band of Nez Perce.
Born in the Wallowa Valley of Oregon, a peace-loving Native American, Josephs patience was tried several times due to the U.S. Army's reneging on several Treaties, taking land from the Nez Perce.
Joseph and the Nez Perce headed for Canada, and were about 40 miles from the border, when they surrendered to Army troops. General William Tecumseh Sherman imprisioned them in a prisoner-of-war camp near Leavenworth, Kansas for 8 months. They were then banished to Indian Territory (Oklahoma) for about 10 years, where many died. Finally allowed to return to a reservation near Kooskia, Idaho.
Chief Joseph's famous words---"I will fight no more forever"
