(Bio by: Mongoose)
Native American Chief. Along with Chief Joseph the Younger, he directed the 1877 Nez Perce retreat from eastern Oregon into Montana and onward to Canada. The son of a prominent Nez Perce chief, Looking Glass had bitterly resented white encroachments on his ancestral lands, but opposed going to war with the United States over its plans to force his people onto the small reservation assigned to them at Lapwai, Idaho. When the Nez Perce and the U.S. Army first clashed at Whitebird Canyon on June 17, 1877, Looking Glass was already living on the Lapwai reservation, as he had agreed to do.
Nevertheless, General Oliver Howard believed that Looking Glass would soon join the fighting, and he sent a detachment of troops to arrest him.
