Through the eyes of a brave and independent young woman, Scott ODell tells of the tragic defeat of the Nez Perce, a classic tale of cruelty, betrayal, and heroism.
This powerful account of the tragic defeat of the Nez Perce Indians in 1877 by the United States Army is narrated by Chief Josephs strong and brave daughter.
When Sound of Running Feet first sees white settlers on Nez Perce land, she vows to fight them. Shell fight all the people trying to steal her peoples land and to force them onto a reservation, includ-ing the soldiers with their guns.
But if to fight means only to die, never win, is the fight worth it? When will the killing stop?
Like the authors Newbery Medal-winning classic Island of the Blue Dolphins, Scott ODells Thunder Rolling in the Mountains is a gripping tale of survival, strength, and courage.
