Labels:text | human face | person | screenshot | man OCR: Chief Joseph (c. 1840-1904), was one of the Nez Perce Indian chiefs responsible for the tribe's skillful retreat from pursuing U.S Army troops during the Nez Perce War (1877). Under his leadership the small band successfully eluded and then withstood attacks from the army during a retreat of more than 1,600 km (1,000 mi) from Oregon to Montana, where they were forced to surrender only 48 m (38 mi) from the Canadian border.
