== Responding to the destruction of game and grass cover and the unprovoked murder of Indians, Shoshone leaders like Chief Pocatello retaliated with raids on emigrant trains.

In response to incidents of violence committed by the travelers, some Shoshones, including a group led bY Chief Bear Hunter of the Cache Valley, began to raid wagon trains and cattle herds. ==
