Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce: A Poem by Robert Penn Warren

4.0

A short, yet powerfully tragic poem about the slaughtering of the Nez Perce tribe, and the disintegration of their sacred culture.
This poetry clearly portrays the rich culture and society of Native American Indians, and devastating historical events.
"Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce" was unexpectedly violent, and far more bloody than I would have anticipated for a poem.
However, this takes away none of its harsh and sad beauty.
A realistic, darkly beautiful work of poetry and American history.
