From AudioFile

Well-known actor Foxworth professionally narrates this tale of conflict and bravery in the mid-1800's on the Western frontier. Pacing, breath control and empathy add a dramatic dimension to this well-researched fictionalization of the Nez Percé conflict. Though the reading is outstanding, this abridgment sounds like a book report. Listen to, or read, the whole book to have the locale, characters and history brought to life. S.C.A.

Review

"The author's attention to detail and authenticity, coupled with his ability to spin a darned good yarn, makes it easy to see why Johnston is today's best-selling frontier novelist. He's one of a handful that truly knows the territory."-- Chicago Tribune"Based on careful research and field study, [Terry C. Johnston's] novels follow the adventures of Seamus Donegan, sometimes scout, sometimes sergeant...Johnston can be considered king of the Indian wars' fiction writers."-- John D. McDermott, retired historian and administrator for the National Park Service and the Council on Historic Preservation, author of Forlorn Hope: The Battle of White Bird Canyon and the Beginning of the Nez Perce War"Rich and fascinating...There is a genuine flavor of the period and of the men who made it what it was."-- Washington Post Book World

5.0étoiles sur 5 History brought to vivid life., Mai 21 1999
Par Un client
Terry C. Johnston makes the Indian Wars come to life in his novels, injecting a human element and action into stodgy historical fact. He's done it again in this first volume of his projected trilogy covering the Nez Perce war. While this is included in his Plainsman series, regular readers may be disappointed that his hero Seamus Donegan is nowhere to be found in this first novel. And this is what puts Terry at the top of the heap among historical novelists--he refuses to inject his character in a story where realistically he cannot be. When we last saw Seamus, he was still involved in the Lakota/Cheyenne wars down in Wyoming and Montana. It would be physically impossible, and a transparent writer's ploy to put him in Idaho for the sake of keeping Seamus the focus. Too many writers have their main character involved in every frontier fracas possible. But Terry sticks to history melded to crackling good adventure. "Cries From the Earth" sheds light on the long-ignored start of the Nez Perce conflict, and doesn't sugarcoat the facts. There is NO political correctness in this volume, my friend. Terry stays true to the times and the attitudes and foibles of all the participants of this shameful chapter in our history. If you think you know all about the Nez Perce conflict, think again. Terry C. Johnston has read all the histories, talked to all the experts, and he has read between the lines of these volumes and words. He has a practiced knowledge of the frontier, and reaches conclusions based on common sense that others have lacked. Read "Cries From the Earth" and learn, friends. And be entertained as well. A master Storyteller has written!

5.0étoiles sur 5 Terry amazes us once again!!!, Avril 26 1999
Par leic9643@uidaho.edu (Hayden Lake, Idaho) - Voir tous mes commentaires
Once again, Terry takes into the bloody jaws of hell with his wonderful mix of storytelling and history. Well reasearched, this book, like his others carries us into the shoes of the soldier, Nez Perce, and the civilian alike during this start of the Nez Perce War. There is no author that can keep pace with Terry, the best novelist of our time. Cries from the Earth makes little known places come to life with great significance. This book is absolutely wonderful.

5.0étoiles sur 5 Informative, a touch of history unknown to many, Book 2?, Avril 14 1999
Par Terrell "tcecooper" (Sammamish, WA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires
So many of us use US 95 and drive down the White Bird Pass and only take a second glance at the monument and what has transpired. Terry Johnston has taken a somewhat unknown battle and if all of his fans take the time to read the novel and assorted readings, I think you will find US 95 a busy tourist area.

I hike in the Salmon river country since 1972. Every year I head down White Bird Pass and quickly look at the monument and drive on.

I am looking forward this year to one week in this area to walk the hills and drink in the atmosphere that Terry has done again. Looking forward to the second book.
