Customer Reviews

This is an important story

The story of Chief Joseph is one of the most important and disturbing chapters in American history. In this book, Bill McAuliffe provides an excellent introduction to Chief Joseph, the Nez Perce, and the amazing story of their flight to escape the American Army. The book contains some excellent photographs and a time line of events. It concludes with words from Chief Joseph, "The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it." This is a man and a subject that we all should know more about. This book is an excellent begining.
