Meacham served as chairman of the Modoc War Peace Commission, and Cowan notes that "this work on the Modoc War was written by a most competent author on the subject, making this volume of great historic value." The illustrations are portraits of the principals in the war, as well as "Spirited and Life-like Engravings, of actual scenes from Modoc Indian life, as witnessed by the author." Six Guns 1475 says: "Has much on Captain Jack, the Modoc outlaw." Hardcover. First Edition.
