A young frontier photographer goes West to escape the Civil War draft and settles in the Bitterroot Mountains, ancestral home of the Nez Perce Indians. There he becomes obsessed with a young Irish pioneer woman he spies swimming nude in a mountain lake. He comes to admire the Nez Perce and photographs the young leader, Chief Joseph, and a Nez Perce woman warrior (based on a real historical person). Their stories tangle in a ruthless convergence of fates. As he chronicles Chief Joseph's desperate struggle to save his people and their harrowing 1,500-mile exodus to the Canadian border-the medicine line-to join Sitting Bull in freedom, he feels complicit in their demise. 650 0 $a Photographers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Nez PerceÌ Indians $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Western stories. 655 7 $a Western fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Pinkham, Allen, $e writer of foreward. 941 $a 5 952 $l FYPI314 $d 20240604013348.0 952 $l GHPD771 $d 20240502012603.0 952 $l WXPD305 $d 20240113010754.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20231102014242.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20231102013526.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=93A9E2A6794811EE8DD2691B42ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
