Description: In autumn 1805,a group of ragged strangers staggered into a Nez ì Perce Indian camp on the Clearwater River in what is now northern ì Idaho. The natives discussed killing the starving newcomers and ì taking the wonderous treasures they carried in their packs. ì Instead, they heeded an old woman who said, "Do Them No Harm!" ì That decision marked the beginning of a unique friendship between ì the Nez Perce and the members of the Lewis and Clark ì Expedition.

Zoa Swayne spent years writing down the events of 1805, 1806 ì as remembered by Nez Perce storytellers then combined them with ì entries from the journals of the explorers to create a ì fascinating story about an alliance that changed American ì history.
