“The story of the [Nez Perces’] escape, hardships, and ultimate defeat makes an epic struggle any Hollywood scriptwriter would admire. In Nez Perce Summer, 1877 Jerome A. Greene . . . is precise, even brilliant, in detailing the Nez Perce trail and the military groups that hounded them for weeks.”-Denver Post “Greene’s book is a comprehensive, well-researched, and well-written study of the [Nez Perce War] and its aftermath.”-Library Journal “[Jerome A. Greene] gives the Nez Perce saga the attention it deserves.”-Wild West
