Fort Fizzle was a temporary military barricade in the western United States, erected by the U.S. Army in July 1877. Its purpose was to intercept the Nez Perce in their flight from north central Idaho over Lolo Pass into the Bitterroot Valley of western Montana. The name describes the effectiveness of the fort.
In the Nez Perce War of 1877, the U.S. Army defeated, but did not demoralize, the Nez Perce under Chief Joseph at the Battle of the Clearwater, July 11–12. Pursued by General O. O. Howard the Nez Perce, numbering about 200 warriors and 750 persons in total along with more than 2,000 horses, decided to flee across Lolo Pass into the Bitterroot Valley and onward to the Great Plains.
