This one of the most powerful books about Chief Joseph that i have had the pleasure to read. The stirring narrative from a native Nez Perez,really puts me in the story and makes me very,very angry about the way we have treated Native Americans,Will Henry was one of the most gifted and talented western writers of all time. I wish his books would make a comeback on the bestseller lists.

The book moved me and made me think about the hardships that the Indian peoples went through, especially the Nez Perce. It had lots of neat little points, and a different perspective of Chief Joseph. This was probably the best story that I've read.

I read this book ages ago, It is Excellent,they made a movie of it but can't seem to find. READ IT!!!

I read this book as a young man. That was a long while back. I am now recommending it to my son who teaches Creative Nonfiction at the university level. This is a great treatise on the handling of the Western Indian tribes by the U.S. Cavalry, which is being treated pretty much as lost history today. My wife gave me a framed photographic portrait of Chief Joseph of the Nez Perez Indians and it now hangs before me in my office, along side of George Washington.
