1. Thunder In The Mountains
Chief Joseph, Oliver Otis Howard, and the Nez Perce War
Set against the backdrop of the post-Civil War era, this historical narrative delves into the tumultuous relationship between General Oliver Otis Howard, a Union Army hero and advocate for African American rights, and Chief Joseph, the revered leader of the Nez Perce tribe. As Howard seeks to enforce federal policies that threaten the Nez Perce's ancestral lands, the story unfolds into a gripping account of cultural clashes, broken promises, and the relentless pursuit of justice and dignity. Through a vivid portrayal of these two iconic figures, the book explores themes of power, resistance, and the enduring struggle for freedom and equality in the American West.
