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."

An attempt to do justice to a tragic injustice
Revisado: 10-10-19
Nerburn tells the story as objectively as possible, taking care to disclose his own distance from the people he describes. He uses a careful POV technique that helps the reader (or listener) better understand the context in which all participants are making decisions at the time they made them.
The story in total is tragic and sickening, and the echos of the period are still all around us. At least this book helps us understand them better. Maybe that brings us closer to correcting the wrongs, or maybe that's simply not possible.
The narration by Hillgartner is studied and compelling. It's probably the best-narrated book I've ever listened to.
