Selling Your Father's Bones: The Epic Fate of the American West by Brian Schofield - Times Online

Selling Your Father's Bones: The Epic Fate of the American West by Brian Schofield - Times Online: "Joseph was a peacemaker. But when mapmakers in Washington tried to carve up Wallowa and he had to choose between selling his father's bones or saving his father's people, he decided on the latter, fleeing, but also fighting. He led them on a 1,700-mile forced march, humiliating the US Army in three separate rearguard actions."
