File:Chief Joseph, Nez Perce - NARA - 523606.tif

... that Chief Joseph (pictured) and his warriors defeated the U.S. army in 1877 at the Battle of Cottonwood as the Nez Perce began their 1,400 mile (2,300 km) fighting retreat?

16px Article is appropriate size and newness, sources look good. Hook is referenced and appropriate, image is good. My only real concern is that while the online source implies that Canada was their destination, it does not appear to be stated outright in the link. A more specific reference would be preferred.
