The Daughter Of The Nez Perces (1894)

The Daughter of the Nez Perces is a novel written by Arthur Paterson and published in 1894. The story is set in the Pacific Northwest and follows the life of a young Native American woman named Minta. Minta is a member of the Nez Perce tribe, and the novel explores her experiences growing up in a rapidly changing world. As a child, Minta is fascinated by the stories of her ancestors and the traditions of her people. However, as she grows older, she begins to see the impact of white settlers on her community. She witnesses the destruction of the buffalo herds, the encroachment of settlers on tribal lands, and the forced relocation of her people to a reservation. Despite these challenges, Minta remains determined to hold onto her cultural identity and fight for the rights of her people. She becomes involved in the resistance movement led by Chief Joseph, and ultimately plays a crucial role in the Nez Perce War of 1877. The Daughter of the Nez Perces is a powerful portrayal of the struggles faced by Native American communities in the face of colonization and displacement. It is also a celebration of the resilience and strength of these communities, and a reminder of the importance of preserving cultural heritage.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
