Fought amid lava beds, the 1873 Modoc War was fierce, bloody, and unjust.
This riveting narrative captures the conflict's dramatic battles, betrayals, and devastating end.
It also delves into underlying causes and secret schemes by the Applegate family and others to seize Modoc ancestral territory along what is now the California-Oregon border.
