Thunder in the Mountains: Chief Joseph, Oliver Otis Howard, and the Nez Perce War
Thunder in the Mountains: Chief Joseph, Oliver Otis Howard, and the Nez Perce War | Daniel J. Sharfstein
1 post | 3 read | 3 to read
Beautifully wrought and impossible to put down, Daniel Sharfsteins Thunder in the Mountains chronicles with compassion and grace that resonant past we should never forget.Brenda Wineapple, author of Ecstatic Nation: Confidence, Crisis, and Compromise, 18481877 After the Civil War and Reconstruction, a new struggle raged in the Northern Rockies. In the summer of 1877, General Oliver Otis Howard, a champion of African American civil rights, ruthlessly pursued hundreds of Nez Perce families who resisted moving onto a reservation. Standing in his way was Chief Joseph, a young leader who never stopped advocating for Native American sovereignty and equal rights. Thunder in the Mountains is the spellbinding story of two legendary figures and their epic clash of ideas about the meaning of freedom and the role of government in American life.

At Winter Fishtrap in Joseph, OR. The conference theme is Dams. Listening to Nez Perce leader Casey Mitchell talking about his tribe, water, salmon and dams. He is descended from Yellow Bull. Here for my work to remove four dams on the lower Snake River to restore salmon for tribes, orca and communities.

Leftcoastzen Very cool! 4y
SamAnne And Joseph, OR is in the Wallowa Valley, Chief Joseph‘s homeland. Powerful country. And for the history buffs out there I highly recommend Thunder in the Mountains! 4y

Reggie Have you read the tagged book? It‘s amazing and sad because of the land lost to Louisiana because there are 17 dams on the Mississippi, preventing silt that would normally shore up land from reaching the delta. She also talks on how tribes knew better to build anything that wasn‘t movable near the river. This post is awesome and definitely stacked that book.
