Vollmann tells the story of the Nez Perce War, with flashbacks to the Civil War. Defrauded and intimidated at every turn, the Nez Perces finally went on the warpath in 1877, subjecting the US Army to its greatest defeat since Little Big Horn as they fled from Northeast Oregon across Montana to the Canadian border. Vollmann's main character is not the legendary Chief Joseph but his pursuer, General Oliver Otis Howard, the brave, shy, tormented, devoutly Christian Civil War veteran. In this novel we see him as commander, father, son, husband, friend, and killer. Teeming with many vivid characters on both sides of the conflict and written in an original style, \u003ci\u003eThe Dying Grass\u003c\/i\u003e is another mesmerizing achievement from one of the most ambitious writers of our time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Recorded Books, LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47102560174320,"sku":"2940170837694","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170837694_p0.jpg?v=1763719118","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170837694","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
