Nez Perce Summer 1877
Author: Jerome A. Greene
Publisher: U of Nebraska Press
ISBN: 1496234480
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 542
Book Description
Nez Perce Summer, 1877 tells the story of a people's epic struggle to survive spiritually, culturally, and physically in the face of unrelenting military force. Written by one of the foremost experts in frontier military history, Jerome A. Greene, and reviewed by members of the Nez Perce tribe, this definitive treatment of the Nez Perce War is the first to incorporate research from all known accounts of Nez Perce and U.S. military participants. Enhanced by sixteen detailed maps and forty-nine historic photographs, Greene's gripping narrative takes readers on a three-and-one-half month 1,700-mile journey across the wilds of Idaho, Wyoming, and Montana territories. All of the skirmishes and battles of the war receive detailed treatment, which benefits from Greene's astute analysis of the strategies and decision making on both sides. Between 100 and 150 of the more than 800 Nez Perce men, women, and children who began the trek were killed during the war. Almost as many died in the months following the surrender, after they were exiled to malaria-ridden northeastern Oklahoma. Army deaths numbered 113. The casualties on both sides were an extraordinary price for a war that nobody wanted but whose history has since fascinated generations of Americans.

Isaac I. Stevens
Author: Kent D. Richards
Publisher: Washington State University Press
ISBN: 1636820549
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 419
Book Description
“Isaac Stevens was most often in the center of activity, providing leadership, spewing out orders and ideas, shaping events, or creating controversy. He was a man either loved or hated.”--Kent D. Richards. Washington Territory's first governor remains as controversial today as he was to his frontier contemporaries during the Pacific Northwest's most turbulent era--the mid-1850s. Indian wars, martial law, and bitter political disputes, as well as the establishment of a new, sound governmental system, characterized Isaac I. Stevens's years as governor (1853-1857). Richards's definitive biography is one of the essential works on the history of early Washington, as well as northern Idaho and western Montana. An 1839 West Point graduate, Stevens pursued an exciting and useful career for his country. He was as much at ease on horseback in the wilderness as he was in government halls at the nation's capitol. With the possible exception of the Flathead Council, Richards counters the popular misconception that Stevens acted with haste in forcing treaties on regional tribes, thus precipitating the hostilities in 1855. In addition to serving as Washington's territorial governor, superintendent of Indian affairs, and, eventually, delegate to the U.S. Congress, Stevens also distinguished himself in the Mexican War, the Coast Survey, and as head of the Northern Pacific transcontinental railroad survey. In the early years of the Civil War, he was appointed a major general in the Union Army. Dying as flamboyantly as he had lived, Stevens fell while charging with banner in hand toward rebel fortifications on the very battlefield where his son lay wounded. He left an indelible mark on the destiny of the Pacific Northwest. This revised edition offers a new preface.
