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. Â
