The Modoc War (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781163388198)

The Modoc War by Cyrus Townsend Brady is a historical account of the conflict between the Modoc tribe and the United States government in the late 19th century. The book details the events leading up to the war, including the forced relocation of the Modoc people to a reservation in Oregon and the subsequent tensions between the tribe and the government. The author describes the key players on both sides of the conflict, including Modoc leaders Captain Jack and Scarface Charley, and General Edward Canby, who was sent to negotiate with the tribe. The book also delves into the tactics used by both sides during the war, which lasted from 1872 to 1873, and the eventual surrender of the Modoc people. Throughout the book, Brady provides a balanced and nuanced perspective on the conflict, highlighting the complex cultural and political factors that contributed to the Modoc War. Overall, The Modoc War is a well-researched and engaging account of an often-overlooked chapter in American history.THIS 114 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Northwestern Fights and Fighters, by Cyrus Townsend Brady.
