The Year After Custer: Based On the True Story of the Epic Nez Perce Retreat

In 1877, just after Sitting Bull's victory at Little Big Horn, Chief Joseph leads the Nez Perce on a daring 1700 mile retreat from Oregon to Canada, dodging U.S. cavalry to join forces with other tribes for a stand in the American northwest. "THE YEAR AFTER CUSTER" by Myles Murchison plunges into this epic saga with vibrant detail, weaving a tale that spans from the wilds of Yellowstone to the core of New York City society. Through orchards, battlefields, and dreams of both Native shamans and U.S. officers, this historical Western reimagines the legendary journey along the Nez Perce Trail, exploring the courage, tragedy, and enduring spirit of a people fighting for their way of life.

1877, the year after Sitting Bull's victory at Little Big Horn, the U.S. cavalry chases the Nez Perce nation from its homeland in Oregon's Wallowa Valley. Chief Joseph escapes, leading 800 men, women and children and thousands of horses on an amazing 1700 mile retreat, outwitting five separate U.S. army divisions in a race to reach the Sioux in Canada − to unite with them, the Crow, Blackfeet and other native peoples in a war for the American northwest.

THE YEAR AFTER CUSTER recreates this heroic year with authentic detail in all its epic Western drama − that reaches from the whorehouses of Ogallala to lunch with the Rockefellers in New York City; from the tipi of a Nez Perce shaman who believes The Great Spirit speaks in his dreams to the field tent of Colonel Nelson Miles who dreams of becoming the new Custer; from the Oregon orchards that a half-white widow abandons to guide her people through Yellowstone's secret canyons to a Texas wrangler who flees the law across the Great Plains and finds the passionate and ennobling purpose of his life.

In the style of Michener and McMurtry, Myles Murchison's new historical Western brings to life the glory and myth of what is marked today as the Nez Perce Trail, a U.S. National Monument.
