Date Original

Description
As Capt . Perry's forces descended into this draw , six Nez Perce approached Lieutenant Edward Theller with a white flag . The Lieutenant then had his accompanying bugler inform Capt . Perry of the sighting . Theller's scout , Ad Chapman , fired twice at the approaching Nez Perce , missing both times , whereas the Nez Perce returned fire , killing Trumpeter Jones . The death of Trumpeter Jones could explain the disorganization of the widely dispersed men and their heavy casualties . Highest point skirting lamáta (White Bird Battlefield) on the south . This rocky ridge has been claimed to have been manned by the Nez Perce . The soldiers were not permitted to advance so far south , it was in the foreground where scout Chapman advanced , and the bugler was killed at the extreme left margin of the picture . However , the shot was a long distance one , as told by lepít híisemtuks (Two Moons) . The battle raged to the north , to the right of the ridge .
