Nez Perce Summer, 1877: The U. S. Army and the Nee-Me-Poo Crisis. By Jerome A. Greene. (Helena: Montana Historical Society Press, 2000. xix + 554 pp. Illustrations, maps, appendix, notes, bibliography, index. $49.95.)

In 1877, several groups of Nez Perce (they called themselves Nee-Me-Poo, or "The People") embarked upon a desperate attempt to retain their freedom. Embittered by the loss of their traditional homelands and their repeated mistreatment at the hands of whites, these Indians eluded their army pursuers, commanded by General Oliver O.

Miles, however, forced most Nez Perce to surrender in the Bear's Paw Mountains, just short of the Canadian border. The present volume, which began as a National Park Service Historic Resource Study, offers an intricately detailed (358 pages of text) and exhaustively researched (180 pages of appendixes, endnotes, and bibliography) account of this epic campaign. . . .
