Download or read book Modoc Vengeance written by Daniel Woodhead and published by Daniel Woodhead III. This book was released on 2014-08-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1873, the Modoc War at Tule Lake and the lava beds in Northern California was big news - international as well as national. Historians have written that were it not for Custer's shocking defeat at the Little Big Horn three years later, the Modoc War would stand out as the most significant Indian war in America's western history. It is an intriguing, spell-binding story of how a small band of renegade Modocs, from their lava bed stronghold, held off over 600 troops for almost four months. Modoc Vengeance is unique from all other books on the Modoc War, in that it is composed of 1873 newspaper reports - from the San Francisco Chronicle, San Francisco Call-Bulletin, New York Herald, New York Times, Yreka Journal and Yreka Union. These reports alone, without interpretive interruption, tell the story of the war. Each of the 244 pages is a day in the life of the Modoc War giving you, the reader, a "you are there" feel for what is happening between Captain Jack's Modocs and the army at the lava beds. Complementing the 244 pages of newspaper reports is an impressive, 86 page array of Modoc War photographs, sketches and maps, historic and current - arguably more than will be found in all other Modoc War books combined. Included are photographs by the famous "father of the motion picture," Eadweard Muybridge, and drawings by the equally famous British reporter/artist, William Simpson, noted for his Crimean War sketches. Modoc Vengeance also features several human interest stories, which bring a grassroots reality to the story being told by the newspaper reports - e.g. little boys across the nation playing Modoc War games and a mother journeying from Philadelphia to Tule Lake to see her dying soldier son. Modoc Vengeance is a great information source on the 1873
Download or read book The Modoc War written by Robert Aquinas McNally and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2017-11-01 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On a cold, rainy dawn in late November 1872, Lieutenant Frazier Boutelle and a Modoc Indian nicknamed Scarface Charley leveled firearms at each other. Their duel triggered a war that capped a decades-long genocidal attack that was emblematic of the United States’ conquest of Native America’s peoples and lands. Robert Aquinas McNally tells the wrenching story of the Modoc War of 1872–73, one of the nation’s costliest campaigns against North American Indigenous peoples, in which the army placed nearly one thousand soldiers in the field against some fifty-five Modoc fighters. Although little known today, the Modoc War dominated national headlines for an entire year. Fought in south-central Oregon and northeastern California, the war settled into a siege in the desolate Lava Beds and climaxed the decades-long effort to dispossess and destroy the Modocs. The war did not end with the last shot fired, however. For the first and only time in U.S. history, Native fighters were tried and hanged for war crimes. The surviving Modocs were packed into cattle cars and shipped from Fort Klamath to the corrupt, disease-ridden Quapaw reservation in Oklahoma, where they found peace even more lethal than war. The Modoc War tells the forgotten story of a violent and bloody Gilded Age campaign at a time when the federal government boasted officially of a “peace policy” toward Indigenous nations. This compelling history illuminates a dark corner in our country’s past.

Download or read book Remembering the Modoc War written by Boyd Cothran and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2014-09-15 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On October 3, 1873, the U.S. Army hanged four Modoc headmen at Oregon's Fort Klamath. The condemned had supposedly murdered the only U.S. Army general to die during the Indian wars of the nineteenth century. Their much-anticipated execution marked the end of the Modoc War of 1872–73. But as Boyd Cothran demonstrates, the conflict's close marked the beginning of a new struggle over the memory of the war. Examining representations of the Modoc War in the context of rapidly expanding cultural and commercial marketplaces, Cothran shows how settlers created and sold narratives of the conflict that blamed the Modocs. These stories portrayed Indigenous people as the instigators of violence and white Americans as innocent victims. Cothran examines the production and circulation of these narratives, from sensationalized published histories and staged lectures featuring Modoc survivors of the war to commemorations and promotional efforts to sell newly opened Indian lands to settlers. As Cothran argues, these narratives of American innocence justified not only violence against Indians in the settlement of the West but also the broader process of U.S. territorial and imperial expansion.

Book excerpt: Her scars ran so deep, her soul had been severed in two. Michelene had killed and run—but not far enough, or fast enough. They’d found her. Azriel had but one rule. No attachments. This rule had kept him alive. He’d lived by it—until her. She’d found her savior in a man whose past was even darker than her own and whose soul held shadows of that dark. He made her body explode in ways she’d never imagined possible and gave her heart something she’d long given up... hope. Michelene was his saving grace. The only thing which kept the darkness from consuming him. She was his to protect and cherish. God help anyone who challenged that--because Vengeance would be his. EXCERPT: There wasn’t time to cringe. In a split second, she saw something flash in her mystery man’s eyes—something dark and deadly. Sensing he was about to move, her hand shot to his shoulder, her heart pounding as she tried to communicate her desperate plea with her eyes. “Please don’t." The panic that was squeezing her throat wasn’t because she was afraid for Vic; she could care less about that greasy pig. Nor was she concerned this man could be hurt. She knew she couldn’t afford scrutiny. She’d managed to be virtually unseen for four years; it had to remain that way. It was amazing this man didn’t know who she was. “Vic’s an ass, but he’s harmless.” Her words weren’t moving him in the least. There was no visible change in his manner, but Michelene sensed he was growing more pissed, more dangerous. “He’s never laid a hand on me.” That worked. She felt his tension drain a bit, while he stared pointedly at where her hand rested on him. She didn’t move it. Slowly, he turned those ghostly eyes back to her face. “If he talks to you like that again, I will end him.” Would most women feel the same thrill she did at his words? Not having much experience with “normal” people, Michelene really couldn’t say. But she certainly felt thrilled right down to her toes. Pussy clenching, she knew she needed to put a little space between them before she did something that would garner even more attention. Before it came to that, she tried to move, but found her arm caught in a vise made of hot flesh. “Your name,” he growled, his piercing glare keeping her rooted to the spot every bit as much as his hold. “Michelene,” she whispered back, not even considering giving him a fake name. Besides, she was sick of not being herself. There was something about him, a danger, a certain “off-ness” that called to her, told her she could be herself around him. “Nice to meet you, Michelene.” There went that smile again. Just that tiny sign of approval succeeded in melting her formerly icy insides. “I’m Azriel Seth.”

Nora is finally told of the rape and realizes that at this late date, nothing can be done to the unknown perpetrators. Nora comes across Holly's diary after the funeral and reads about the rape. Holly names the boys Guy and Bill, and from the details in the diary, Nora is able to identify them. She tries to blow them up in their car, but no one is injured.

Although a search is made, the other boy could not be found.
