Camas Meadows Battle Sites
Camas Meadows Battle Sites, Historical battlefield in Clark County, United States.
The two battle sites, spanning 40 acres each and located 5 miles apart, feature remaining rifle pits near Camas Creek and Spring Creek.
In August 1877, Nez Perce warriors executed a successful raid on General Howard's troops, capturing 150 horses and mules from the Army campsite.
The area represents a critical moment in the Nez Perce resistance against government efforts to relocate indigenous populations to reservations.
Visitors can reach both locations northeast of Dubois, Idaho, with the Army campsite positioned at coordinates 44°21′11″N 111°53′06″W.
The battlefield contains visible military defensive structures, including original rifle pits constructed by Captain Norwood's soldiers during the siege.
