Vollmann tells the story of the Nez Perce War, with flashbacks to the Civil War. Defrauded and intimidated at every turn, the Nez Perces finally went on the warpath in 1877, subjecting the U.S. Army to its greatest defeat since Little Big Horn as they fled from northeast Oregon across Montana to the Canadian border. Vollmann's main character is not the legendary Chief Joseph, but his pursuer, General Oliver Otis Howard, the brave, shy, tormented, devoutly Christian Civil War veteran. In this novel, we see him as commander, father, son, husband, friend, and killer.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Fiction Vollmann Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Fiction Vollmann Checked In Add Copy to MyList
