Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the lives of the Nez Perces Indians, a mountain people inhabiting the region between the Cascade and Bitter Root Mountains. The author, a dedicated missionary, shares her personal experiences and insights gleaned from years of living among them. She expertly weaves together their history, traditions, and culture, detailing their ancient beliefs and practices, as well as the profound impact of the arrival of Lewis and Clark. The book's heart lies in the Nez Perces' quest for spiritual truth. Driven by a deep-seated desire to understand the universe and their place within it, they sought the "Book from Heaven" that would reveal the right way to worship. Their arduous journey to St. Louis and their subsequent interactions with missionaries, led by the likes of Rev. H. H. Spalding, set the stage for a new chapter in Nez Perces history. The arrival of these devoted teachers marked the beginning of a remarkable transformation, as the Nez Perces embraced Christianity and embraced the values of Western civilization, while still cherishing their own rich heritage. The author's intimate knowledge and reverence for this unique people shine through, offering a compelling portrait of resilience, faith, and the enduring power of human connection.
