Historic LoDo: Jerome Greene is retired as Research Historian for the National Park Service, and the author of numerous books, including Stricken Field: The Little Bighorn since 1876. Greene will discuss and sign his new book Beyond Bear’s Paw: The Nez Perce Indians in Canada ($24.95 University of Oklahoma Press). In the fall of 1877, Nez Perce (Nimiipuu) Indians were desperately fleeing U.S. Army troops. The army caught up with them at the Bear’s Paw Mountains in northern Montana, and following a devastating battle, Chief Joseph and most of his people surrendered. The wrenching tale of Chief Joseph and his followers is now legendary, but Bear’s Paw is not the entire story. In fact, nearly three hundred Nez Perce escaped the U.S. Army and fled into Canada. Beyond Bear’s Paw is the first book to explore the fate of these “non-treaty” Indians.
