Elizabeth Clare said Brutal, raw, and tragic. Terry Johnston does a blockbuster job of letting history unfold in a "you are there" style that puts the reader in the center of the action.This is a novel that is all about misunderstanding. Chief Joseph on the Nez Perce side and General Oliver Otis Howard as the American in charge are portrayed as real men caught in an impossible situation.

Many people, perhaps most, will disagree with me--it is just a matter of personal tast
Their history, their heritage and their ancestors are buried beneath that land. Cries from the EarthTerry C. Many go quietly, thinking more about their families than of the pride of their warriors. Although severely outnumbered and outgunned, a few brave warriors will heed the call ofCRIES FROM THE EARTH.. But for a few holdouts, there's no room for compromise. The American government is forcing the Indians from their homelands onto the reservation. Ill will is growing between white settlers and the Non-Treaty bands of the Nez Perce. JohnstonBy m
