Description
The Dying Grass: A Novel of the Nez Perce War In this epic novel, William T. Vollmann tells the story of the Nez Perce Indians' fighting retreat from northeast Oregon to the Canadian border in 1877. The U.S. Army, led by General Oliver Otis Howard, is pursued by the Nez Perces, who have been defrauded and intimidated at every turn. This is a story of war, loss, and survival, as two cultures clash in a conflict that will have far-reaching consequences. Through the eyes of General Howard, Vollmann explores the complexities of war and its impact on individuals and communities. With vivid characters on both sides of the conflict, this novel is a powerful and thought-provoking exploration of the human experience. The Dying Grass is a mesmerizing achievement from one of the most ambitious writers of our time. With its original style and multiple layers of storytelling, this novel is a worthwhile read for anyone interested in historical fiction and the complexities of human conflict.
