Voice Of The Old Wolf: Lucullus Virgil Mcwhorter And The Nez Perce Indians [Paperback]

Voice of the Old Wolf, originally published in 1996, is the only full-length biography of Lucullus V. McWhorter (1860-1944). The Yakima area rancher met and befriended Yakima and Nez Perce warriors in 1903, forming deep relationships and accumulating facts, stories, and perspectives that would otherwise have been irretrievably lost. Adopted as a tribe member, he served as a stirring spokesman for non-treaty bands and captured prominent Nez Perce voices in his classic Western histories, Yellow Wolf (1940) and Hear Me, My Chiefs! (1952). This edition includes a new foreword describing the vast McWhorter collection.
