释义 |
BackgroundDaggett fathered twelve to thirteen children and is first recorded in history in 1890 when he and his family were removed from their lands on Fort Hall Indian Reservation in Idaho by settlers who claimed they had purchased the land. Twenty years later, in the spring of 1910, Daggett led his family off the reservation and they traveled to Nevada and California where they worked at various jobs. Cattle theftFinally, in January 1911, the Daggetts were encamped in Little High Rock Canyon in Washoe County, Nevada. Their winter stores were running low so Mike decided to steal and slaughter some cattle belonging to a local rancher. Death and legacy{{See also|Battle of Kelley Creek}}The theft did not go unnoticed and a posse of four men went to the canyon to deal with the situation, but when the four entered, Mike and two of his oldest sons ambushed the posse and killed all of them on January 19. The bodies were later found mutilated and piled inside a cave by a search party on February 8, after which a posse of Nevada and California policemen and citizens were sent to apprehend the Daggett party. On February 25, 1911, the posse discovered Shoshone Mike and his followers at a place known as Kelley Creek in Humboldt County, Nevada. During a battle that lasted three hours, Mike was killed, along with eight others, and four of his children were taken into police custody. The four later attended Stewart Indian School near Carson City, Nevada, but by 1913 only one, Dagget's baby granddaughter, was still alive, renamed Mary Jo Estep.[2][3][4] She died in 1992.[5] Notes1. ^Nixon, pg. 153-154 2. ^{{cite web| last=Hickson| first=Howard| title=Last Indian Uprising?
