56 Counties: The Saga of Chief Joseph, Part 1

The Nez Perce Indians and the Opening of the Northwest
The Nez Perce Indians and the Opening of the Northwest

Most people are familiar with Chief Joseph and his epic journey across much of the northwestern U.S. to escape capture by the U.S. government. But as with many Montana stories, what's even more fascinating are the events leading up to that moment in our history, as well as what happened to Joseph and his tribal members afterward.

This story is so interesting that it couldn’t be done justice in one episode, so the second half will air next month.
