Heartfelt and suspenseful, Bone Necklace conveys the brutal reality of the U.S. military's campaign against the Nez Perce people, whom they chased for over 1,000 miles from Oregon to Canada during the summer of 1877. Told from multiple perspectives and interlaced with real news articles that appeared at the time, the novel brings the reader inside the harrowing experience of those fighting on both sides, and highlights the shifting sentiments of the press and American public. This is a great book, a must read for anyone interested in Native American or U.S. history.
