Chief Joseph and the Nez Perces gives you the opportunity to visualize through beautiful full-color photographs the land these Indians lived on and traveled through as you read the exciting story of their plight while fleeing from the U.S. Army in 1877. Time after time they outwitted, outmaneuvered, and outfought their pursuers.
Battlefields, campsites, river crossings, and forested trails mark the Indians' route from their homeland in northeastern Oregon to the place in northern Montana where Chief Joseph declared, "From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever."
To experience the full effect of history, we must put ourselves in the time and place and frame of mind of the people who lived it. In Chief Joseph and the Nez Perces you'll see the exact locations--remarkably unchanged over the years--where the Indians fought the cavalry, forded the rivers, made their camps, and sought their freedom. There are no roadways, fences, or other modern distractions to compromise the view--just the sites where it all took place and the carefully researched story that explains what happened.
