Joseph, Oregon
The Nez Perce name for this area washah-un-sah-pah "big rocks lying scattered around."Today, Joseph is a town with homes, shops, and artisan galleries. The streets are 100 feet wide, originally built to accommodate a 4-horse team turnabout. South of Joseph, near scenic Wallowa Lake, is the symbolic beginning of the Nez Perce flight of 1877.
