Let Me Be Free: The Nez Perce Tragedy

David Lavender

4.9/5 (21356 ratings)

Description:One of the great historians of the American West, author of the highly acclaimed The Way to the Western Sea ( LJ 12/88) and the classic Bent's Fort (1954), here draws on his studies of the fur trade to recount the history of the Nez Perce. Following such formidable predecessors as Merrill D. Beal's exciting "I Will Fight No More Forever" (1963) and Alvin M. Josephy Jr.'s authoritative The Nez Perce Indians and the Opening of the Northwest (1965), Lavender meets the challenge of comparison in an excellent narrative history grounded on documentary and interpretive sources. He covers events from the tribe's generous welcome of Lewis and Clark in 1805 through their increasing alarm over hordes of permanent settlers to the tragic surrender of Chief Joseph to General Nelson Miles in 1877. Each chapter reads smoothly and makes an exciting sequel to its predecessor. Historians familiar with the controversy over Chief Joseph will find Lavender's contribution to the debate interesting. Highly recommended for general readers and specialists. History Book Club selection.- Margaret W.
