When Sound of Running Feet first sees white settlers on Nez Perce land, she vows to fight them. She’ll fight all the people trying to steal her people’s land and to force them onto a reservation, including the soldiers with their guns.
But if to fight means only to die, never win, is the fight worth it? When will the killing stop?
Through the eyes of Chief Joseph’s daughter, a brave and independent young woman, Scott O’Dell tells of the tragic defeat of the Nez Perce, a classic tale of cruelty, betrayal, and heroism.
“The graceful narrative of this memorable story is a fitting capstone to the long career of this most distinguished creator of historical fiction.” — Horn Book

From the Publisher:
It is spring of 1877 when fourteen-year-old Sound of Running Feet, daughter of Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce, sees white people panning gold in the little creek that feeds the Wallowa River, and brings word of them to her father.
"They are the first, but more are on the way," he says. "We are few and they are many. They will devour us."
It is Sound of Running Feet who narrates the story of her tribe's fate. Readers will be gripped as she shares with us her respect for her father, her love for handsome Swan Necklace, and her destiny.
