 Candy Moulton Western Author and Writer of Spur Award Winning Books about Life in the West Told Through the Art of Non-Fictional Writing

Chief Joseph is one of the most recognized names in American Indian history, celebrated for his leadership and guardianship of the Nez Perce people during their 1500-mile flight in 1877 as they outmaneuvered and outraced the frontier army in an attempt to remain free. I had followed much of his trail and knew that he had become a hero not for his battle planning and prowess as a fighter, but for his diplomacy. As I researched and wrote his story, I also realized what an eloquent spokesman he was for his tribe and all Indian people and came to recognize that what he fought for in the 1870s is something we appreciate today, an unfailing love of freedom and homeland.
