Red Eagles Of The Northwest: The Story Of Chief Joseph And His People (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781163143056)

""Red Eagles of the Northwest: The Story of Chief Joseph and His People"" is a historical account of the Nez Perce tribe and their leader, Chief Joseph, who famously led his people on a 1,200-mile journey to escape the United States Army in 1877. Written by Francis Haines, the book chronicles the tribe's struggle to maintain their way of life in the face of encroaching white settlers, broken treaties, and forced relocation. Haines provides a detailed portrait of Chief Joseph and his leadership, as well as the cultural and spiritual beliefs of the Nez Perce. The book also delves into the military tactics and strategies employed by both sides during the conflict, and the aftermath of the Nez Perce's defeat. Overall, ""Red Eagles of the Northwest"" is a comprehensive and engaging account of a pivotal moment in Native American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
