Modoc War

I'm still reading "Pacific Northwest Indian Wars" but have found it excruciatingly dry, so I skipped ahead to the chapter about the Modoc war and will not read any of the rest of it. Today I learned that the Modocs twice attempted to live on the Klamath reservation with the Klamath tribe but the Klamaths kept stealing their timber and taunting them and their appeals to the government were not handled effectively. The Klamaths and Modocs used to be the same tribe but had a war and broke apart so they really don't get along very well. We're just about to start the real fighting and Captain Jack is retreating to the lava beds. dun dun dun.
