I first read this book long before college and it sparked a life long interest in the Nez Perce history and the Nez Perce War of 1877.

This is a great history of 1877 through 1935, told by Yellow Wolf, what he saw and what really happen to his Nez Perce tribe. The story of their flight and fighting with the soldiers and his going forward on to Canada to be with the Sioux tribe and only stayed about nine months and started traveling back to their land in Idaho and Wallowa land in Oregon. A few of them end up in Colville reservation in Washington State with Chief Joseph and never to be in Lapwai, Idaho or Wallowa. The missionary and Christian Nez Perce did not want them in Lapwai. Great history from the Native America Indian point of view. How life was back then and the Nez Perce were great warriors and their horsemanship. A sad story but brave enough to rebel and because they did not want to be put on the reservation. At least they fought the best they could, admire Chief Joseph, Yellow Wolf and their Nez Perce Tribe that still stayed with their culture, tradition and language. The tribe divided because of their religion, so sad. This story was what was left behind by Yellow Wolf through an interpreter.

I read Yellow Wolf: His Own Story simultaneously with Greene’s (U.S. -- centric) account, flipping between the two as they traced the path of the campaign, to get a better feel for the Nez Perce perspective, which was either missing or treated in a summary fashion by Greene. Yellow Wolf’s narrative brings the Nez Perce, portrayed almost as cardboard cutouts by some white histories, to full form as individuals, each with strengths and all-too-human flaws.

It is the humanity of Yellow Wolf’s story that makes it gripping. While Chief Joseph and Looking Glass have enjoyed status as military leaders of mythic skill in the popular imagination, Yellow Wolf’s telling reveals them as men, mere mortals who made critical mistakes. At the same time, his painfully personal views of the hardships he and his tribe endured render the Nez Perce as a whole in an even more heroic light.

Yellow Wolf serves as a good fact check on the after action reports rendered by the various US commanders, showing them to full of errors, inflated casualty counts, and self-aggrandizement. Many times a US commander claimed to have routed the Nez Perce, when by Yellow Wolf’s account they had slipped away hours before. And the explicit recounting of the brutality of the US soldiers at Big Hole, which McWhorter provides with testimonials from survivors who were with Yellow Wolf, fills in the details of a dark day in American history that popular histories glossed over.

It is for this reason that Yellow Wolf: His Own Story is such an important work. The US atrocities in the Nez Perce campaign weren’t the first the world has seen, nor were they the last. And the Indian Wars weren’t the first or last ethnic cleansings—genocides — to be ignored or outright denied. This is why McWhorter’s book is so essential: from its pages, Yellow Wolf reaches out across the years, makes us face the evil of genocide, and dares us to deny that it happened here, too.

From the battle of WhiteBird Creek to the end. you have the facts about what happened between Gen. Howard and Chief Joseph as the Nez Perce tried to save their tribe and their way of life. the tretruous aftermath is not spelled out as you would expect it to not be as history is not always retold completely little is written about US government treatment of the native Americans. Yellow wolf does give us a lot of insight into the thinking and actions of his hation. both about the war and about thier way of life. for anyone interested in one of the greatested strtigic defeats of the US Ar;my this is a read well worth your time.

This is a great review of Yellow Wolf's experience throughout the Nez Perce War of 1877 and his fugitive run shortly after. Yellow Wolf is a forward thinking old-time Native American who expresses love for his people. In this account he finally gets the chance to explain the side of the Nez Perce people. In this, L.V. McWhorter does a great job of citing official Army and government reports that tend to blow out of proportion either the strength of the Nez Perce warriors or the Nez Perce killed. Yellow Wolf takes this opportunity to refute the unquestioned reports of many of these officers and continuously reiterates the peaceful intentions of the Nez Perce. McWhorter lets Yellow Wolf lead the story and does a good job of noting any vital information including the translated names of all Nez Perce involved. Additionally, McWhorter includes a number of helpful photos and appendices to further explain the events herein. Overall, this is a wonderful book, telling the tale of a brave young Yellow Wolf who cared only for the survival of his people. The Nez Perce were one of many tribes forcibly moved, removed and murdered throughout the early years of the United States and it is vital that the true history of Native American - White relations is related.

Well written, flows nicely and very shocking to me how the Indians were lied to and subjected as prisoners in their own land. History books at school should be taught about the Indians point of view. How great it is that Mr. McWhorter took time to care about these people and write down their history.

Chief Joseph has been my hero since I was a young boy growing up in north Idaho. I've been to the Montana sites on the Nez Pierce Trail. As literature this book isn't so great but as vivid factual experiences it can't be equaled for the Nez Pierce war. It is a good companion book to the much more recent "The Last Indian War".
