The first part of the book is an autobiography written by Chief Joseph, the leader of the Nez Perce tribe during the war. In his own words, he describes the events leading up to the conflict, the battles that were fought, and the eventual surrender of his people. He also shares his thoughts and feelings about the war, as well as his hopes for the future of his tribe.The second part of the book is a commentary by General Oliver O. Howard, the commander of the U.S. Army forces that fought against the Nez Perce. General Howard provides his own account of the war, including his strategies and tactics, as well as his opinions on Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce people. He also offers his perspective on the causes of the conflict and the outcome of the war.Together, these two accounts provide a comprehensive and balanced view of the Nez Perce War of 1877, which was a pivotal moment in the history of the American West. The book offers readers a unique opportunity to see the conflict from both sides, and to gain a deeper understanding of the complex issues that led to the war and its aftermath.THIS 56 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Northwestern Fights and Fighters, by Chief Joseph.
