Description:
First published in 1986, Chief Pocatello: The White Plume now joins the Idaho Yesterdays Series. During the years between 1859 and 1864, Chief Pocatello's Northwestern Shoshoni tribe in southern Idaho and northern Utah garnered national attention as a band of fierce Indian outlaws. Mormon leaders, Indian agents, army officers, newspaper editors, and even President Abraham Lincoln noted Pocatello's seemingly unfair demands and efforts on behalf of his people's well-being.
Madson looks beyond popular opinion and historical belief that characterized the legendary "White Plume" as an overly bold and intrasigent chief and paints Chief Pocatello in a different light. Dedicated to a people who faced starvation and destitution as white emigrating settlers continued to flock through his homeland -- the junction of the California Trail and the Salt Lake Road -- Pocatello was committed to preserving the life of his people. Even as game and land resources were severely depleted, he sought little other than to provide for his Shoshoru tribe.
Drawing on legend, lore, and his extensive expertise and knowledge of the Northwestern Shoshoni and Bannock Indians, Dr. Madsen shares a lively and informative history of his subject. This is a particularly revealing study of the increasing impact of white encroachment on the moving frontier and the strains created as the Indians' domain was taken from them. It will appeal to all those interested in Western history, American Indians, and Indian-white relations.
