GC05 1/9th Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce £23.75

"We are going by you without fighting, if you will let us; but we are going by you anyhow." This warning during the Nez Perce War of 1877 sums up the character of Chief Joseph, a peace-loving man drawn into bitter conflict to become the 'Indian Napoleon', considered by many as one of the greatest strategists in military history. Led by Joseph, the outnumbered Nez Perce engaged the US Army over an epic 1700-mile exodus to the Canadian border, earning the respect of their enemies and praise from the press. After 108 days of battling retreat, his people exhausted and famished, Joseph surrendered, a mere 60 miles from Canada. Though spending the rest of his life in exile, Joseph was never subjugated, possessing a kind dignity that won his people many supporters, even among the white communities. He died on 21st September 1904 'of a broken heart', still an exile from his beloved Wallowa valley.
