Temporarily capturing the village, the army was pushed back during a warrior counterattack, while the Native American non-combatants fled.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLed by Civil War veteran, Colonel John Gibbon (a major figure at Gettysburg), the army suffered heavy casualties, as did the Nez Perce. The tribe would escape to make its way toward Canada but was pursued by the military until they surrendered.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is the story of the battle as it was fought by the troopers.
