Purple-petaled wild daisies sprang from flat, dried buffalo chips along the same route used by Chief Joseph's Nez Perce Tribe at this time in 1877 as they made their 1,800-mile running battle with the U.S. Army trying to reach asylum in Canada. Now, the Commander-in-Chief was flying over the same ground, seeing some of the same natural wonders, but traveling rapidly above it all, not so worried about insurgent tribes here as much as in Afghanistan.
