In his penetrating new book, Thunder in the Mountains, Daniel J. Sharfstein shows how the meaning of freedom was contested after the Civil War not only in the South but all the way to the Pacific Northwest... Sharfstein's account makes for absorbing reading; it adds immeasurably to our understanding of the complicated, interwoven lives of those who fought for 'progress' east and west... Those who know little about General Howard, other than that he was a founder of Howard University, will be especially interested in following his story to the end., "In his penetrating new book, Thunder in the Mountains, Daniel J.

This beautifully written book will change the way readers think about the era of Civil War and Reconstruction., Revelatory and riveting, Daniel J. Sharfstein's Thunder in the Mountains places the Nez Perce War within the broader story of the Civil War Era and the postwar shift to empire. In rigorously researched set pieces that capture the nature of life among the Nez Perce, the white settlers of the Wallowa Valley, and Army officers and their families, Sharfstein captures the many causes and consequences of what Yellow Wolf called 'the war we did not want.', Revelatory and riveting, Daniel J. Sharfstein's Thunder in the Mountains places the Nez Perce War within the broader story of the Civil War Era and the postwar shift to empire. In rigorously researched set pieces that capture the nature of life among the Nez Perce, the white settlers of the Wallowa Valley, and Army officers and their families, Sharfstein captures the many causes and consequences of what Yellow Wolf called 'the war we did not want.' By situating the Nez Perce War within the Civil War, Reconstruction, Alaskan expansion, and the Spanish-American War, Sharfstein persuasively argues that the war was a crucible for American state building and a central piece of nineteenth-century American history.
