The story of Chief Joseph is reflective of the forbearance and determination of the Nez Perce people. Candy
Moulton has crafted a moving account of a major player in an epic chapter of American Indian history.

Our written history goes from the 700 page history by Alvin Josephy to other shorter works but none is more
comprehensive than CHIEF JOSEPH: GUARDIAN OF THE PEOPLE for American Heroes. I appreciate
Candy Moulton including details about our stay in and return from Oklahoma Territory.

Solid, well researched, beautifully balanced and written with smooth authority, CHIEF JOSEPH:
GUARDIAN OF THE PEOPLE is an excellent recounting of a tale of high tragedy that defines the
native-American heartbreak that is at the center of the American westering experience. Every page
offers a nugget to a discerning reader.
