The middlefork massacre.

On a mid September’s day in 1908 a wedding of John Michael Roahr, and Jessi Mae Prudence was attacked by a gang of Indians. The gang members were outcasts from two neighboring tribes the Nez perce and Shoshone, led by the gangs leader Blue otter. The wedding party was brutally tortured, scalped, and some raped. They left but one lone survivor, Marcus Luttrell. Marcus led a sheriff’s posse to Blue Otter and the gang and overtook them near a place called Cool water beach, a bend not far from the massacre site. Blue Ducks last words before being hung were “love stinks”.
