A propos de cet article

304pp. Octavo [24.5 cm] Blue cloth with titles and rules gilt stamped on backstrips. Better than very good. Bookplate on the front pastedown. Volume 14 in the Northwest Historical series. In this biography, Drury attempts to give a voice to a 'pro-white' or 'pro-treaty Indian. Lawyer played a major role in the Nez Perce-U.S. Government negotiations and treaties. He was vilified in the 1850s and '60s, and is still sharply criticized today. As a strong advocate of Whitman, Spalding, and other Protestant missionaries, Drury felt that Lawyer was simply being realistic. Clark & Brunet 74.
