Synopsis
The Nez Perce had made their peace with the white settlers who had come into their land, sharing its bounty and their knowledge. But more and more white men came, making greater demands, making promises that were broken. One man, the Peace Chief known as Joseph, called for an end to the madness. And because no one would listen, in the fall of 1877 he gathered 800 of his people and fled into the Rocky Mountain wilderness. It was a desperate bid for freedom, a final run for peace. Teeto Hoonod, a young Nez Perce raised as a Christian, as were many of The People, returned to the Old Ways, to find himself caught in the fury of the perilous journey. For three months Joseph's band outran and outfought the United States Army, only to be forced to surrender just 100 miles from the Canadian border and the freedom they so desperately sought. Song Of The Meadowlark is the story of the last days of a proud and peaceful people, seen through the eyes of Teeto Hoonod.

From Library Journal
The escape of the Nez Perce Indians from the U.S. Army in 1877a classic in retreat tacticsis presented here in fictionalized form from the inside of that march. Through the narrative of the English-speaking Teeto Hoonod, we feel some of the pain of the Nez Perce as they leave their ancestral home in the Pacific Northwest and try to reach Can ada over a 1700-mile route. The author does well in showing the culture of this tribe and its leading personalities. What is lacking is a sense of distance for the trek and a full-bodied Chief Jospeh, their famous leader. Nevertheless, stu dents will enjoy this in conjunction with factual presentations, and adult readers will find it an evocative portrait of an honest people faced with protecting their way of life. W. Keith McCoy, Dowdell Lib., South Amboy, N.J.
