Surviving Yellowstone William E Cecrle

In June 1877 the final Great American Indian War began when Chief Joseph and four other chiefs refused to comply with a treaty they had not signed. They led their groups of Nez Perce away from their ancestral lands and the reservation in an attempt to retain their freedom. Their flight took them through the heart of Yellowstone, the world's first and newly created National Park. In the Park, the Indians encountered several groups of whites. The consequences were fatal for some and life-changing for all. This is a first-hand account of four groups and their encounters told by survivors. This book is the final of 3 parts telling these amazing true tales. Comprised of 16 appendices of survivors and participants, this volume is a western history buffs dream come true!
