Self-printed softcovers (ever so slight age toning to fore-edges), still NF copy, preserved in quarter-brown morocco slipcase, folding cloth chemise, gilt & brown morocco spine label. First offprint edition of this significant treaty in which the Woll-Pah-Pe Snake Tribe of the Blue Mountains agreed to declare peace with the U.S., relinquish all prisoners and slaves held by either side, and relinquish large portions of their indigenous lands, and moved to join the Warm Springs Confederated Tribes Reservation with the Klamath, Modoc, and Yashooskiin Snake Indians. This band of the Northern Paiute "Snake Indians" had fought effectively during the extended Snake War 1864-68, which stretched across Oregon, Nevada, California, & Idaho, and through the acceptance of this treaty it was believed by Huntington, and other officials that the other bands could be encouraged to sign treaties and move to the reservations. Key provisions included redressing revenge attacks by settlers on Native Americans after the tribes had moved; prohibited the sales of arms; promoted farming and cultivation by supplying funds for fencing, seed, and domestic animals, and also medical supplies & physician, mechanics and teachers, build mills, and ensure an interpreter, along with banning sales of alcohol. By the time the Snake War wound down in 1868, after the Battle of Owyhee River, Dec. 1866, and subsequent actions, 1762 casualties had been killed, wounded & captured on both sides and ensured it was the bloodiest of the Indian Wars, although widely forgotten.
