Kurzbeschreibung
Blow for blow, blood for blood, a heart-thundering account of the outbreak of the Nez Perce War, by America's bestselling historical frontier novelist. With gripping, authentic detail, CRIES FROM THE EARTH chronicles the lives of courageous men and women engaged in an ongoing chain of bloody skirmishes-- another breathtaking ride through a Western frontier rife with brutal conflict and astounding bravery. By mid-1877, trouble in the Northwest is brewing like a foul broth. Ill will is growing between white settlers and the Non-Treaty bands of the Nez Perce. The American government is forcing the Indians from their homelands onto the reservation. Many go quietly, thinking more about their families than of the pride of their warriors. But for a few holdouts, there's no room for compromise. Their history, their heritage and their ancestors are buried beneath that land. Although severely outnumbered and outgunned, a few brave warriors will heed the call of....CRIES FROM THE EARTH

Terry C. Johnston makes the Indian Wars come to life in his novels, injecting a human element and action into stodgy historical fact. He's done it again in this first volume of his projected trilogy covering the Nez Perce war. While this is included in his Plainsman series, regular readers may be disappointed that his hero Seamus Donegan is nowhere to be found in this first novel. And this is what puts Terry at the top of the heap among historical novelists--he refuses to inject his character in a story where realistically he cannot be. When we last saw Seamus, he was still involved in the Lakota/Cheyenne wars down in Wyoming and Montana. It would be physically impossible, and a transparent writer's ploy to put him in Idaho for the sake of keeping Seamus the focus. Too many writers have their main character involved in every frontier fracas possible. But Terry sticks to history melded to crackling good adventure. "Cries From the Earth" sheds light on the long-ignored start of the Nez Perce conflict, and doesn't sugarcoat the facts. There is NO political correctness in this volume, my friend. Terry stays true to the times and the attitudes and foibles of all the participants of this shameful chapter in our history. If you think you know all about the Nez Perce conflict, think again. Terry C. Johnston has read all the histories, talked to all the experts, and he has read between the lines of these volumes and words. He has a practiced knowledge of the frontier, and reaches conclusions based on common sense that others have lacked. Read "Cries From the Earth" and learn, friends. And be entertained as well. A master Storyteller has written!

Once again, Terry takes into the bloody jaws of hell with his wonderful mix of storytelling and history. Well reasearched, this book, like his others carries us into the shoes of the soldier, Nez Perce, and the civilian alike during this start of the Nez Perce War. There is no author that can keep pace with Terry, the best novelist of our time. Cries from the Earth makes little known places come to life with great significance. This book is absolutely wonderful.

So many of us use US 95 and drive down the White Bird Pass and only take a second glance at the monument and what has transpired. Terry Johnston has taken a somewhat unknown battle and if all of his fans take the time to read the novel and assorted readings, I think you will find US 95 a busy tourist area.
I hike in the Salmon river country since 1972. Every year I head down White Bird Pass and quickly look at the monument and drive on.
I am looking forward this year to one week in this area to walk the hills and drink in the atmosphere that Terry has done again. Looking forward to the second book.
