About this listen
Blood to Rubies is the towering saga of injustice, love, and redemption. A young frontier photographer goes West to escape the Civil War draft and settles in the Bitterroot Mountains, ancestral home of the Nez Perce Indians. He becomes obsessed with a young Irish woman he spies swimming nude in a mountain lake, comes to admire the Nez Perce and photographs the young Chief Joseph and a woman warrior (based on a true woman never written about). Their stories tangle in a ruthless convergence of fates. As he chronicles Joseph's desperate struggle to save his people and their harrowing 1,500-mile exodus to the Canadian border to freedom, he feels complicit in their demise.
FOREWORD by renown Native historian, Allen V. Pinkham, descendant of Chief Joseph, Chair of the Nez Perce Tribe & Founding Board Member of Smithsonian's National Museum of the American Indian.
