knew Chief Joseph. Darvin Relates: "Chief Joseph wasn't a
great War Chief....He was a man of peace. Being reluctant as he was
to make war is part of what made him a great man.
Darvin goes on to say "most of the war chiefs were killed off.
Darvin tells of John Pitcher (Jim's great grand father) living in the
western wilderness "Davey Crockett style" with his wife and children.
Having no pigs around...They built a fortress and raised black bears
for meat. In those pioneer times. John carried a Colt Peacemaker.
Later John's son would grow to become the Nez Perce Indian
Reservations Indian Agent. George loved the Nez Perce people and
built his home near the "heart of the Monster" ( the center of their
sacred land). Darvin says the Indians called themselves
"Nee-Me-Poo" meaning "The Real People". Sad but true, only recently
the last chunk of Pitcher "reservation" property was sold.

| Pitcher Ranch follows a conservative plan, however we will still be facing a partial herd dispersal. More than %50 of the horses here now will be available for prices never before offered. The list is long of beautiful horses. We still want quality homes for our stock. If these cannot be found here, we will try to haul these horses outside. These are fine blooded mares. Act now for the best deal. An opportunity like this might be a long time coming by again. |
