HISTORY MOMENTS The Idaho State Historical Society reports that during this week in history: The first major battle of the Nez Perce War of 1877 was fought at White Bird on June 17. Chief Joseph led 60 Indians against 100 white; 33 whites lost their lives. On June 19, 1862, President Abraham Lincoln outlined his Emancipation Proclamation, which would abolish slavery in the U.S. territories. On that same date 102 years later, the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was approved. Although Governor C. Ben Ross opposed the repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution prohibiting the manufacture, transportation, and sale of intoxicating liquor, he issued a proclamation on June 19, 1933, calling for Idaho to proceed with a special election. The election that followed approved ratification of a repeal amendment; total votes were 56,652 for repeal and 40,977 against. Aviator Amelia Earhart became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean when she completed a flight from Newfoundland to Wales on June 18, 1928. Sally Ride became the first woman in space on that same day of the month 55 years later. Fort Hall Indian Reservation was established on June 14, 1867 as a refuge for displaced Boise and Bruneau Shoshoni, as well as members of the local Bannock and Shoshoni Tribes. An initial reservation headquarters was established in 1869, but it was not until 1922 that the town of Fort Hall was actually incorporated. On June 15, 1846, the boundary between the United States and Canada was placed at the 49th parallel.
