Info re killings at Mammoth

I don't think the two people killed at Mammoth were tourists, rather they were working in the park. I will find source to support and change the text. --Mike Cline (talk) 15:02, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

The two people who were killed, Dietrich and Kenck, are called tourists by Hampton, p. 234. Possibly others were also killed? Smallchief (talk) 16:53, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Info re Red Rock Pass

The Red Rock Pass linked in the article is the wrong one. Additionally the correct Red Rock Pass is on the border of Montana/Idaho, so this will need a bit of rewriting.--Mike Cline (talk) 15:46, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Yes,you're right. Wrong Red Rock Pass. Smallchief (talk) 16:54, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

Potential DYK hooks

Here are three potential DYK hooks for this article

• ... that in August 1877 a force of Nez Perce indians under the leadership of Chief Joseph evaded the pursuing U.S. Army as they made their way across Yellowstone National Park.
• ... that in August 1877 Nez Perce indians, fleeing the U.S. Army killed two tourists and wounded others in Yellowstone National Park
• ... that during the Nez Perce flight across Yellowstone National Park in 1877 they killed two tourists from Helena, Montana and wounded others from Radersburg, Montana.

Your choice for the DYK. They all look fine to me. And thanks for your hard work on the article. That's a neat trick putting in geographic coordinates for places. I'll see if I can learn how to do that for my next article. Smallchief (talk) 20:49, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
