Some Historic Landmarks of Montana Big Hole National Battlefield

It was on August 9 of late 18^th century when the native tribes Nez Perce fought with the soldiers of US to escape their way to Canada
. Although they failed to stand on their expectation but the battle that took place for consecutive five months between the two brave soldiers actually relates the golden history of Montana.

 As referred by the historian the battle is renowned as Battle of Big Hole and the same battle was the largest amongst all. So owing to its importance the site was converted into Nez Perce National Historical Park, in 1992.

A collection of 38 sites which is spread over the five different states of actually looks to honour and preserve the testimonies and incident that changed the history of both sides.

First Peoples Buffalo Jump State Park, Ulm

To quote the importance of the site first thing we must look to understand is that it is an archaeological site and the horse shoe shaped cliff is possibly the largest cliff of north America where native people comes in to perform bison jump.

As per the history before an excavation of Lewis and Clarke the site was used by the native people for at least thousand years and that gives us an idea regarding the pre historic existence of the site.

The site where people hops in to perform bison jump actually is a sandstone cliff that measures the height of 18ft with its line stretched over miles so a journey here is going to be historical because many tribes during their existence used this cliff as their hunting zone.

Apart from being a historical site First Peoples Buffalo Jump State Park, Ulm can be considered as holy because an evidence of pictographs and petroglyphs speaks the volume.
