Publisher's Synopsis
""The Indian History of the Modoc War: And the Causes That Led to It"" is a historical account written by Jeff C. Riddle, originally published in 1914. The book focuses on the Modoc War, a conflict that occurred in 1872-1873 between the Modoc tribe and the United States Army in Northern California and Southern Oregon. Riddle provides an in-depth look at the events leading up to the war, including the forced relocation of the Modoc people to the Klamath Reservation and the subsequent tensions that arose between them and the US government. He also explores the various battles and skirmishes that took place during the war, as well as the negotiations and treaties that were attempted in an effort to end the conflict peacefully. The book is unique in that it presents the Modoc perspective on the war, drawing heavily from interviews with Modoc survivors and their descendants. Riddle also includes detailed descriptions of Modoc culture and traditions, providing readers with a deeper understanding of the tribe's way of life. Overall, ""The Indian History of the Modoc War"" is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Native American history, the US government's treatment of indigenous peoples, and the complexities of intercultural conflict.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
