Review
"This is a gem of a book -- in many ways one of the most informed on Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce Indians ever written -- rich in its humanity, filled with the struggle and sadness of patriots and genuine heroes, and inspiring in its central tale of a wonderful man who did as much as anyone else -- and perhaps more -- to bring about realistic writing on American Indian history... An accomplished and important work." -- Alvin M. Josephy, Jr., author of The Nez Perce Indians and the Opening of the Northwest

Historian Steven Ross Evans offers the first book-length presentation of the life of the author who wrote the classic Western histories, Yellow Wolf (1940) and Hear Me, My Chiefs! (1952).
