Through the words of General O.O. Howard, first published in 1881, you'll observe the 1300-mile panorama of the war from the viewpoint of the commander of the pursuing U.S. troops, who wrote his account in an attempt to justify what many at that time and since have called an indefensible lack of military vigor.
From the 1878 news articles of Montana reporter Duncan McDonald, you'll hear the voices of those Nez Perces who fled during the last hours of the war across the border to the safety of Canada and who for years afterwards bitterly, sadly, defined the war as a friendship forgotten, a trust betrayed.
Finally, through the voice of the famed Chief Joseph, whose oft quoted line, "From where the sun now stands I shall fight no more forever," drew a conclusion to the 4-month long saga, you'll witness the personal and cultural pride, strengths and sufferings of the pursued.
Never before have these three contradicting testimonials to the much debated military campaign of the Nez Perce War of 1877 been brought together, side-by-side, for you consideration, your judgement, your enlightenment.
Duncan McDonald was the son of Hudson Bay Fur Company manager Angus McDonald and Angus' Nez Perce wife. The younger McDonald was fluent in both English and Nez Perce and was known personally by many of the approximately two hundred ninety Nez Perces who fled to Canada after the final battle of the 1877 war. His perspectives on the war were gained from his interviews with this group and were published in 1878 in a series of articles in The New North-West, a Deer Lodge Montana newspaper.
Chief Joseph was the chief of the Wallowa band of Nez Perces and led those who surrendered at the Battle of the Bear Paw and were sent into exile in Kansas and Oklahoma. His thoughts on the war were provided in an extensive interview with The North American Review published in 1879.
