Scouting
for Buffalo
A Nez Perce Indian mounted on a Leopard Appaloosa horse pauses
on a mountain rise before following his companion into a large
majestic valley. The Nez Perce people of the American Pacific
Northwest developed the American breed of Appaloosa. They were
once referred to by white settlers as the "Palouse Horse",
after the Palouse River, which flowed through the of Nez Perce
country.
