In his latest novel to examine the collisions between Native Americans and European colonizers, National Book Award–winner William T. Vollmann tells the story of the Nez Perce War. Defrauded and intimidated at every turn, the Nez Perces finally went on the warpath in 1877, subjecting the U.S. Army to its greatest defeat since Little Big Horn as they fled from Oregon across Montana to the Canadian border. Teeming with vivid characters on both sides of the conflict, The Dying Grass (Viking) is another mesmerizing achievement from one of the most ambitious writers of our time.
