(Montana Mile 28 US Highway 12)

It was here Captain Rawn received word the Nez Perce were coming down the Lolo Trail into the Bitterroot Valley. He was to stop the Nez Perce with a military barricade. As the Nez Perce drew close, they detoured around the barricade. This site is one of the U.S. millitary failures to stop the Nez Perce and was aptly named Fort Fizzle.
