The mining of lead, however, did not become general till 1826-27, and all the localities where the mineral had been discovered were not thrown open for sale till 1847.

First General Gibbon, who was then in Montana, started in pursuit with a force of less than 200, and came upon the Indians on a branch of the Big Hole or Wisdom River, and attacked them Aug. 9, but was compelled to assume the defensive, as he was greatly outnumbered. and the Indians withdrlly recovered by his cavalry. The fleeing Indians then traversed some of the worst trails for man or beast on this continent, as General Sherman described it. Their course may thus be briefly given: The Nez Perces, after leaving Henry's Lake in Montana, passed up the Madison and Fire Hole Basin into the Yellowstone Park, and crossed the divide and the Yellowstone River above the falls and below the lake; then they crossed the Snowy Mountains, and moved down Clark's Fork, with General Howard on
