Then violence erupted.
The Killings That Ended The Peace
On June 13, 1877, while the non-treaty bands were camped at Tolo Lake, three young warriors went on a raid along the Salmon River.
The exact circumstances are disputed, and the accounts vary.
What is established is that the raid resulted in the deaths of several white settlers on the Salmon River.
A second raid followed on June 14 or 15, with more killings.
The total number of settlers killed in these raids has been given as approximately fourteen to eighteen in different sources, with additional wounded.
