What caused this incident, was that 2 Shoshone and White Boys died, so whites and Native Americans went into war, because Native Americans started raiding farms, and settlers. The situation they were in, was that the Shoshone were fighting with Americans, and they tried to fight each other. The end project, was that 2 Shoshone and 2 whites died. I think that you need to know about this topic, because it is part of Idaho’s history, and the forming of america. Another reason I would like you to research Native American History, is because we don’t really understand what the Native Americans did, to fight for this land!
