Illustrated with original drawings, maps and photographs. From the Preface: In response to a request for contributions from participants in the Modoc and Nez Perce wars, numerous papers were submitted, all of such high value, not only from an historic but from a literary point of view as well, that I had not the presumption to rewrite them myself-not even the proverbial assurance of the historian would warrant that. Therefore, I have contented myself with writing a general and comprehensive account of each of the two wars considered, leaving to the actors themselves the telling in full of the detailed story of the splendid achievements in which they were making history. I can affirm, therefore, that never before has there been included in a single volume such a remarkable and interesting collection of personal experiences in our Indian Wars as in this book.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
