Thunder in the Mountains: Chief Joseph, Oliver Otis Howard, and the Nez Perce War Audiobook, by Daniel Sharfstein

Publisher Description

Acclaimed journalist Daniel J. Sharfstein cuts through centuries of myth to deliver this groundbreaking work. Defining their identities first as people of color and later as whites, three American families provide a lens for understanding how people thought about and experienced race and how these ideas and experiences evolved - how the definitions of black and white changed over time.

"I almost gave this one 5 stars. The sections detailing the social histories of the families were fascinating and well-paced. The chapters that sort of set the scene and the chapters on the Civil War (game-changer that it was) were less so. "

    " Very interesting book and although it is nonfiction it reads like a novel. His research was impeccable but so much detail bogs down the book. "

    " While the topic is fascinating, the prose reads like a doctoral thesis - factual, but dry and dull. I have a personal policy to give books at least 50 pages before giving up. I made it through 32 of this one before putting it down for good. "
