Learning about the 1,800-mile journey made by Chief Joseph and 800 Nez Perce men, women, and children from their homelands in what is now eastern Oregon to Montana is essential to understand who we are as a nation. There, only 40 miles from the Canadian border and freedom, Chief Joseph, convinced that the wounded and elders could go no farther, walked across the snowy battlefield, handed his rifle to the US military commander who had been pursuing them, and spoke his now-famous words, "From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever."

compelling story telling, exacting attention
Revisado: 06-28-21
A trip through Yellowstone lead me to learn more about the Nez Perce, and this was the first book I chose. it is superb Story telling, bringing to life hundreds of people. I felt that all stories were explored in depth with equal respect to all and without mythologizing anyone. I found myself, however, constantly asking, "How does he know?" I skipped ahead to the author's note where he directly confronts this failing. I went back to the text convinced that Nerburn had done the work and was giving me the best interpretations that could be made. Scholarly works are available. Nerburn has studied them for us. These stories deserve to be heard, and this book is a compelling vehicle for them. Read this book!
