Praise for The Dying Grass "Stunning. . .The indefatigable, seeming inexhaustible Vollmann returns with another impossibly long - and peerless - book, this one an epic study of the Nez Perce War of 1877. . .Vollmann restores that history with an onrushing immediacy that takes on all the contours of a good Greek tragedy. . .Vollmann's vivid reconstruction is believable and achingly beautiful. . .a note-perfect incantation."-- Kirkus Reviews    , Praise for The Dying Grass "Stunning. . .The indefatigable, seeming inexhaustible Vollmann returns with another impossibly long - and peerless - book, this one an epic study of the Nez Perce War of 1877. . .Vollmann restores that history with an onrushing immediacy that takes on all the contours of a good Greek tragedy. . .Vollmann's vivid reconstruction is believable and achingly beautiful. . .a note-perfect incantation."-- Kirkus Reviews   "A colossal, ravishingly descriptive, adeptly omniscient novel...Vollmann's rampaging, reflective, absurd, ironic, tragic, and poetic epic is supported by a painstakingly compiled chronology, glossaries, and copious notes. Yet for all this documentation, this is a work of grand invention, creative empathy, and holistic interpretation.. . This virtuoso, polyphonic saga of invasion, resistance, forced exodus, and conquest flows, whirls, and mesmerizes with riverine dynamics, and it is as large, encompassing, and deeply felt as it needs to be to do justice to its momentous subject." --Booklist (starred review)   "Offers a panoramic view of the era and the decades leading up to it...Vollmann's prose is evocative and often lyrical, trailing down the page like free verse. . .To his credit, Vollmann is as interested in context and history as in storytelling...This massive novel is sometimes challenging, but ultimately rewarding." --Publishers Weekly (boxed review)

Synopsis
"The reading experience of a lifetime ..."-- The Washington Post The National Book Award winner takes readers inside the epic fighting retreat of the Nez Perce Indians  In this new installment in his acclaimed series of novels examining the collisions between Native Americans and European colonizers, William T. 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 U.S. 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 in which the printed page works as a stage with multiple layers of foreground and background, The Dying Grass is another mesmerizing achievement from one of the most ambitious writers of our time., "The reading experience of a lifetime ..."-- The Washington Post The National Book Award winner takes readers inside the epic fighting retreat of the Nez Perce Indians In this new installment in his acclaimed series of novels examining the collisions between Native Americans and European colonizers, William T.

    The Dying Grass

    This is a somewhat tedious telling of a fictional story that is based on the true history of the Nez Perce wars. Because I am from that part of the northwest, and am interested in its history (my great grandfather was a 'horse soldier' during those years - in just that area) , I bought the book. At this point, I am about halfway through it, and read about 50 pages a day - while frequently referencing the internet, other books, and local maps. Its not a modern-day 'thriller,' but it wasn't meant to be! Thus, it takes a certain dedication. I initially read about the book almost a year ago in the local newspaper and decided to but it on ebay. If you like historical fiction of this type, its a good read and I highly recommend it!

    A moving title that makes me think of how we almost destroyed the people who lived here before we came and took over.

    Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce Native American Indians should be admired and respected for his honesty.

    The Grass which Comes alive again

    This is a voluminous tribute to the Nez Pierce tribe, who were all but decimated because of the constant white man's attempt to colonize and appropriate. Though the content is daunting, the novel has a lyricism that is both memorable and musical. The heroic cadence never stops and though the inevitable outcome is devastating, the spirit of the Nez Pierce remains unwavering and unconquerable.
