Nothing But A Blaze: The Indian War on the Lower Rogue, 1856 (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781720676133)

On the night of February 22, 1856, the Tututni Indians and their allies launched a surprise attack against the white miners along the entire south coast of Oregon. The settlement of Ellensburg, forerunner of today's Gold Beach, is burned to the ground and dozens of people killed. Thus began the war on the lower Rogue River, in terms of the populations involved, the bloodiest of all the conflicts between the American Indians and the Americans. This volume traces the causes of the conflict and the sequence of events that led to the destruction of the Tututnis and the American possession of the southern coast of Oregon.
