"Rich and fascinating." --Washington Post Book World


Product Description

The Modoc Indians and American officials had been flirting with war in the Oregon Territory for some time. When Modoc chief Keintpoos murdered a Civil War hero during negotiations, the U.S. Army launched a deadly offensive against the rebel tribe. Besieged in the natural stronghold of the Lava Beds near Tule Lake, the Modocs waged bloody war for seven long months. Sergeant Seamus Donegan, on the trail of his uncle, Ian O'Rourke, arrived at Tule Lake just as the conflict erupted. Soon Donegan and the brooding O'Rourke found themselves embroiled in what would be the costliest war in frontier history....

First Sentence
"Bloody right we'll share a drink one day soon, old man," Seamus Donegan whispered quietly to himself as he folded Sam Marr's letter and stuffed it in one of the big pockets on his canvas mackinaw, his heart awash with memories of the man who had started north up the bloody Bozeman Road with him five years before. Read the first page

4.0 out of 5 stars A very well written acount of the Modoc War, Jul 16 1998
By A Customer
This is the first (and not last) book I've read by Johnston, and it was very good. At times it was hard to keep reading it, at times it was hard to put down. I'm very glad I read this, and I think anyone else interested in this time period should definetly pick this up. And of course read it.
