Reviews

"The story of the [Nez Perces'] escapes, hardships and ultimate defeat makes an epic struggle any Hollywood scriptwriter would admire. In Nez Perce Summer, Jerome A. Greene ... is precise, even brilliant, in detailing the Nez Perce trail and the military groups that hounded them for weeks."NDenver Post "Jerome A. Greene ... gives the Nez Perce saga the attention it deserves... Greene's expert treatment is detailed, but his narrative is never boring."NWild West "The flight of Chief Joseph and the Nez Perces across mountain and plain in a quest for Canadian sanctuary is a commanding saga... Applying his exceptional powers of research in breadth and depth, Jerome A. Greene has crafted the most exhaustive history yet published of this story of courage, endurance, pathos, and tragedy. His contribution fills in a wealth of missing detail and immeasurably enriches the extensive literature."NRobert M. Utley, author of The Lance and the Shield: The Life and Times of Sitting Bull
