Nuhou, Volume I, Number 24, 16 May 1873 — The Modoe War [ARTICLE]
The Modoc War
Is a big war; much bigger than the Lowery Swamp War, because we see that there are perhaps fifty Indians in the Lava Beds, although some of them are squaws. Those Modocs will be dear lndians, and will cost about one hundred thousand dollars a piece. But it is hoped, that if the troops of the United States cannot destroy them, that the friendly Indians will help to ex terminate their red brethren.
