• W4205195239 abstract "Bear claws with discs of abalone shell. His voice the sound of a great cataract afar Or distantthunder, spoke: 'Tellhim thatI 'Am not afraid to die. I am afraid to live. 'Iwill not live a coward who refused 'My mother and denied the spirits of my fathers. 'I would rather die as a brave man... (pp. 70-71) This piece was writtenwell afterthe war, but based on a real event. Wood continued to call on his wartime experiences and on his notes and diaries to search formeaning inhis own lifeand for justice for Native Americans. His advocacy was enhanced by studying at Columbia Law School and by embracing the lifeof an attorneyinPortland,where he became deeply involved in intellectual lifeand an icon of cultural life. He never abandoned theques tion of justice forAmerican Indians, and he continued his involvement in Nez Perce history and friendshipwith thenon-treaty bands. As noted, there isconsiderable controversy concerning thehistoricity of theChief Joseph surrender speech. Wood, who was present at the timeof the surrender, maintained for most ofhis days a tellingthatultimatelyprovedmost likely a manipulated version that served his literarypurposes. Formost of his life, Wood insisted that,as he handed over his rifle,Joseph spoke thewords thatWood often quoted. Wood said thosewords came throughArthur AdChapman and Captain John,interpreters. Venn, however,discovered a note from Wood to historian Lucullus McWhorter in 1936, which revealed thattheSpeechwas a literaryitem, and not verbatim record (p. 76). This does not prove that Josephwas not a great orator or thathe did not saywords to the effectthathe isoften credited.He may have said something close to the famous speech in council with his fellow tribesmen justbefore theactual surren der (Captain John was there,too.) ButWood's note to McWhorter does cast furtherdoubt on the classical oration toHoward andMiles that was oftenpromoted by Wood. There ismuch to this fascinating book, a must-read, must-have for students of Nez Perce tribalhistory.The firstthreeparts alone are compelling. Readers aremost indebted to Venn, however, for including inhis scheme of material the dramatic fourth portion of the book. This is the Wood legacy,both his lasting friendshipwith Chief Josephand theattempts he and his familymade at enhancing racial understanding. Venn describes Wood's son Erskine's stay with Josephand laterevents,even through the twentieth century.The Redheart Memorial ceremony at Ft.Vancouver in 1998 and other events, such as thepresentation of a beautiful stallion to theRedthunder family ofNespelem, show a dedication to healing. I was present at many of these events, and Venn has offeredaccurate renditionswithin proper historical context. This was and will remain a difficult task,but Venn has done well, and his teamworkwithWordcraft of Oregon, the publisher, has produced an outstanding work thatwill be a treasure now and in the future. Hopefully, we have seen the end of narrative histories of the 1877 War. JeromeGreene's Nez Perce Summer 1877 (2000) and Bruce Hamp ton'sfineChildren ojGrace (1994)will have the lastand perhaps bestword in thatdepartment. Let us now have more of the unique kind of scholarship represented byVenn, who artisti cally, seamlessly tiesmodern tribalhistory to that earlier troubled time. Steven R.
