"Winner of the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association
Regional Award"
Chief Moses (Sulktalthscosum or Half-Sun) was chief of the
Columbias, a Salish-speaking people of the mid Columbia River area
in what is now the state of Washington. This award-winning
biography by Robert Ruby and John Brown situates Moses in the
opening of the Northwest and subsequent Indian-white relations,
between 1850 and 1898. Early in life Moses had won a name for
himself battling whites, but with the maturity and responsibilities
of chieftainship, he became a diplomat and held his united tribe at
peace in spite of growing white encroachment. He resisted the call
to arms of his friend Chief Joseph of the Nez Perces, whose heroic
campaign ended in defeat and exile to Indian Territory. Their
friendship persisted, however, and after Joseph's return to the
Northwest, the two lived out their lives on the reservation,
sharing their frustrations and uniting their voices in
complaint.
