The Nez Perce Chief Who Refused To Surrender 40 Miles From Canada — Then Slipped Past The Army And Escaped
Looking Glass had been drawn into the conflict by an attack he did not seek.

His death, and the deaths of Ollokot and Toohoolhoolzote in the fighting, eliminated the warrior leadership of the nimíipuu at Bear Paw.
The men who remained to make decisions on October 5 were Joseph — whose primary role had always been that of a peace negotiator and civil leader — and White Bird.
