Chief Moses (Sulktalthscosum or HalfSun) was chief of the Columbias, a Salishspeaking people of the midColumbia River area in what is now the state of Washington. This awardwinning biography by Robert H. Ruby and John A. Brown situates Moses in the opening of the Northwest and subsequent Indianwhite relations, between 1850 and 1898. Early in life Moses had won a name for himself battling whites, but with the maturity and responsibilities of chieftainship, he became a diplomat and held his united tribe at peace in spite of growing white encroachment. He resisted the call to arms of his friend Chief Joseph of the Nez Percs, whose heroic campaign ended in defeat and exile to Indian Territory. Yet their friendship persisted, and after Joseph's return to the Northwest, the two lived out their lives on the reservation, sharing their frustrations and uniting their voices in complaint.
