HISTORY MOMENTS The Idaho State Historical Society reports that during this week in history: After a three-month, 1400-mile march toward Canada, four major battles and numerous skirmishes with U.S. soldiers, Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce Tribe formally surrendered on October 5, 1877. On the morning of Monday, October 7, 1805, half-starved, sick and ill-equipped, the members of the Lewis and Clark Expedition nevertheless shoved off from shore and started out on the last lap of their trip to the Pacific after having spent several days at Canoe Camp Site. This camp—near present day Orofino—was their last major stopping place en route to the ocean. Bruno Hauptmann was indicted for kidnapping and murder on October 8, 1934, in the death of Charles Lindbergh's baby. Found guilty of both charges, he was executed in 1936. US Vice President Spiro T. Agnew resigned from office on October 10, 1973, after pleading no contest to a charge of income tax evasion. In the early morning hours of October 11, 1809, Explorer Meriwether Lewis died from two gunshot wounds—one to the chest, the other to the head. Most historians believe that he committed suicide due to depression, while a popular belief continues that he was murdered, perhaps by representatives of his political enemies. He was 35 years old.
