In addition to documenting their interactions with the Nez Percé tribe and federal agents appointed to supervise the reservation, this collection highlights the bitter feuds between the sisters. The collection includes more than 150 of Sue McBeth's letters; Kate McBeth's diary; and correspondence by ministers and government agents.
