If Mr. Ford was actually one of those who pursued Chief Joseph, it is 
certainly one of the less than stellar moments/decisions made by that generation
Before you go off half cocked you had better read the whole story and learn 
about how many whites were killed by Chief Joseph and his people before they 
ran to Canada. The white people didn't just go out and hunt down Indians for 
sport like the movies tell us.  
If you would like to read what Aunt Charlotte wrote about this I can send you 
her book but I doubt that it would help because you obviously have your mind 
made up that the whites were the bad people and the poor Indians were just 
peaceful loving people who wouldn't bother a sole.
Sorry but I can't stand this rewrite of history I have Indian blood in me and 
I have relatives who were captured by the Indians and never seen again. There 
are bad people on all sides of history.
