The Modoc War by Cyrus Townsend Brady is a historical account of the conflict between the Modoc tribe and the United States government in the late 19th century. The book details the events leading up to the war, including the forced relocation of the Modoc people to a reservation in Oregon and the subsequent tensions between the tribe and the government. The author describes the key players on both sides of the conflict, including Modoc leaders Captain Jack and Scarface Charley, and General Edward Canby, who was sent to negotiate with the tribe.
