Children of Grace The Nez Perce War of 1877 by Hampton, Bruce Format: PaperbackPublished by Avon Books, 1995 As friends of the white American, the Nez Perce Indians aided the exhau sted explorers Lewis and Clark in 1805, only to be repeatedly misled by white treaties over the next seventy years. In 1877, a handful of renegade warriors struck back by massacring eighteen settlers in Idaho, setting off one of the bloodiest and most tragic Indian wars of the century. This is the story of the dramatic 1200 mile chase through Idaho, Montana and Wyoming, in which some 800 Nez Perce men, women and children attempted to fight their way to freedom in Canada.Product image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.
