Thunder in the Mountains: Chief Joseph, Oliver Otis Howard, and the Nez Perce War

byDaniel J. Sharfstein

In Thunder in the Mountains, Daniel J. Sharfstein presents a historical account centered on chief Joseph, Oliver Otis Howard, and the Nez Perce War. The book builds its explanation through key episodes, competing interests, and the setting supplied by the wider field of history. The result avoids a single easy lesson, emphasizing instead how circumstances, institutions, and individual choices interacted over time. What emerges is a nuanced account of the subject, its immediate consequences, and its wider meaning. The emphasis stays on explanation, context, and the lived consequences behind the larger argument.
