About the Book

Lucullus V. McWhorter met and befriended Yakama and Nez Perce warriors in 1903, forming deep relationships and accumulating facts, stories, and perspectives that would otherwise have been irretrievably lost. Adopted as an honorary member of the Yakama tribe and given the name Old Wolf, 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). Originally published in 1996, Voice of the Old Wolf is the only biography of Lucullus V. McWhorter (1860-1944). Author Steven Ross Evans focused on the Yakima area rancher's unique roles as Nez Perce tribal historian and collector of traditional lore to help fill a significant gap in the chronology of Nez Perce history--the post 1880s to the 1940s, and assembled numerous excellent photographs, many previously unpublished. This edition includes a new foreword describing the vast McWhorter collection held by Washington State University.

Trevor James Bond is the codirector of the Center for Digital Scholarship and Curation and the associate dean for Digital Initiatives and Special Collections at the Washington State University Libraries.

Review :
"Voice of the Old Wolf is a wonderful work allowing readers to enter the mind and world of the non-treaty Nez Perce during those years after their return from exile in Oklahoma [1885]. Clearly McWhorter was more than a brother to his Nez Perce friends, for he left a legacy of historical information about Native Americans that will survive him for generations. The book is an original and exciting work which will change forever the way we think of the Nez Perce people." --Cliff Trafzer, co-author of Renegade Tribe: The Palouse Indians and the Invasion of the Inland Pacific Northwest "A gem of a book--in many ways one of the most informed on Chief Joseph and the Nez Perce Indians ever written." ---Alvin M. Josephy, Jr., author, The Nez Perce Indians and the Opening of the Northwest
