Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Modoc War: Message From the President of the United States, Transmitting Copies of the Correspondence and Papers Relative to the War With the Modoc Indians in Southern Oregon and Northern California, During the Years 1872 and 1873 Preliminary correspondence showing causes which led to hostilities, and the circumstances under which military force urns employed, together with reports of operations up to the time of the appointment of peace commissioners. Sir: I have the honor to transmit, for the information of the major-general commanding the division, a copy of the correspondence in relation to the reported troubles with the Modoc Indians, referred to in my report of the 3d instant. The first is the complaint, of J. M. True and Andrew J. Barrett, transmitted by the commanding officer at Fort Klamath, with copies of the letters to the superintendent of Indian affairs, and to the commanding officer. Fort Klamath; and the second is a communication from the superintendent of Indian affairs, inclosing a petition from citizens of Jackson County, Oregon, and asking for a force to compel these Indians to return to the reservation, with copies of letters to the superintendent and to the commanding officer at Fort Klamath. The treaty with the Klamaths, Modocs, and Yahooskin Snakes was made on the 14th of October, 1864, and approved by the Senate, with certain amendments, on the 2d of July, 1866, but not finally ratified until the 10th of December, 1869. This long delay made the Indians who were parties to the treaty very suspicious, and I have been informed by the superintendent that when the treaty, as amended by the Senate, was interpreted and explained to them, Captain Jack, the present leader of the troublesome Modocs, protested that it did not represent what they had agreed to. He was, however, convinced by the testimony of the other chiefs, and finally assented to it. When they were established on the reservation they went to work with a good deal of interest to build cabins and inclose ground for cultivation, but were so much annoyed by the Klamaths that they complained to the local agent, who, instead of protecting them in their rights, endeavored to compromise the difficulty by removing them to another location. At this point the same difficulties recurred, and a third selection was made. The Modocs then abandoned the reservation, alleging that the last point selected was a trap to place them in the power of their enemies, the Klamaths. These changes were made without the concurrence of the superintendent, and I believe did not come to his knowledge until after the Modocs had fled from the reservation. All subsequent attempts to induce them to return have failed. In the summer of last year, and in consequence of complaints against these Indians, the superintendent sent commissioners to confer with them, (see my reports of September 2 and November 3, 1871,) who authorized the Modocs to remain where they then were until the superintendent could see them.
