The Times of Tomahawk and Fire-Brand
233
The next year after the Joseph War, or in 1878, occurred the Bannock War, the scene of which was mainly Umatilla County in Oregon and other parts adjoining the River. Though at first, as has happened so many times, the Indians met with successes, the end was their inevitable defeat.
With the close of the Bannock War it may be said that Indian warfare practically ended. The warwhoop ceased to be heard and the tomahawk was brandished no more along the Columbia.
