[or-roots] Nez Perce War

[glenkc7mbm at comcast.net]

Hello Joseph
Yes! I have that book and many more on the Nez Perce.
My Great Great Grandfather was Married to the Daughter of Chief James, he was William Craig and his donation land claim on the Reservation is part of the Nez Perce Historical Park and is between Lapwai and Culdesac, the cemertery where he is buried is on a hill just behind the Jacques Spur Cafe.
Yes I am a ham have not been doing to much, lost some of my interest when I had a heart attack and open heart surgery in 2000.

A "must have" book on the subject of the Nez Perce is "The Nez Perce Indians and the Opening of the Northwest" by Alvin M. Josephy, Jr. original copyright 1965, my copy is 1997. Publisher credits listed as, A mariner Book, Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston, New York. Be sure it says "complete and unabridged" on the cover.  It is in paperback $19.00.

It is an exhaustive work covering from the Lewis and Clark Corps of Discovery in Nez Perce country through the war of 1877.  It contains considerable detail of persons and events over those years.  Lots (tons) of references, good maps, etc.

Glen,
I gather from your e-mail address you must be a Ham operator.  K7FGN here.

Can you give more info on the books, such as publisher and date published, etc.
Supposedly Chief Joseph was my Great Great Uncle and I do trace my family back to Chief James Moses of the Lapwai Band.

If anyone is researching ancestors who may have been involved on either side of the Nez Perce war I recently read CRIES FROM THE EARTH,  and LAY THE MOUNTAINS LOW both written by Terry C Johnston.  They appear to be very well documented and contain factual information concerning that conflict and the individuals involved.  The 3rd book in the trilogy is TURN THE STARS UPSIDE DOWN. Since Chief Joseph's original stomping grounds were in Oregon I thought perhaps there would be some interest.
