THUNDER ROLLING IN THE MOUNTAINS

This tragic chapter of American history was researched by O'Dell and his wife, Elizabeth Hall. The story centers around the Nez Perce's exodus from their beloved home in Idaho. The story of Chief Joseph's tribe ("I will fight no more forever") is seen through the eyes of his daughter and is told in the first person. Narrator Linda Stephens perfectly recreates the varied reactions to this atrocity carried out by the U.S. government. Stephens brings pain, sympathy and enlightenment to her delivery. Although intended for a young audience, all ages will learn from this well-researched account of a dark moment we all must remember. S.G.B. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: JUN 96]
