In Nez Perce country

the long version

"In 22 chapters detailing the reports of travelers to the Bitterroot and Clearwater country after Lewis and Clark, Lynn and Dennis Baird weave a saga that will immediately take its place among the essential works about the region." "The book's strength is its publication of original primary source material - some for the first time - accompanied by rich bibliographical annotations. But equally valuable, and even more enjoyable, are the Bairds' narrative sketches and biographical vignettes."--BOOK JACKET.
