The Modoc War: Captain Jack vs U.S. Army COMPILATION

5 місяців тому

In 1874 Kintpuash - better known as Captain Jack - led his small band of the Modoc people off the reservation in southern Oregon and back to their homeland in Northern California. What followed would be one of the most expensive wars ever fought on U.S. soil; one which pitted just 50 to 60 Modoc warriors against nearly a thousand U.S. troops and volunteers. This is a COMPILATION of a previously released three-part series. #wildwest #oldwest #nativeamerican

I found enjoyment in listening to someone skilled in story telling. It was: The Modoc War: Captain Jack vs U.S. Army COMPILATION A more skillfully crafted and told tail of facts I have never herd until now. The story of Captain Jack and his indigenous band of brothers. In particular is the description of First Sargent Thomas Kelly. "....- and look you in the eye & gut you like a fish". BRAVO !!! High Regards to the narrator !

Well, it seems Captain Jack and the Modoc's is the epitome of the saying, It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog. This is California history that I had no knowledge of and it's fascinating and horrific. A sad state of affairs from both sides of Manifest Destiny. Thanks, Josh, another great people's profile podcast.

Having lived most of the last 48 years in far Northern California, I especially enjoyed this episode.As always,well researched,and great presentation. Spot on about state of California's official policy to wipe out the original Native population.Huge amount of $ spent on bounties for Indian scalps. In the late 1820's,and'30's,American fur traders,like Jedidiah Smith,and Ewing Young,had traversed California into Oregon and the Columbia river.Later you mentioned Michel Laframbois ,one of the Hudson Bay Co. partisans.Michel rose through the ranks,and at one time had lead trapping parties numerous time,so that he knew Sounthern Oregon,and Northern California,better than any man alive.

Neither native nor whites made any effort to understand the culture of the others. Modoc War is an almost perfect case study in cultural conflict. Sad that we didn’t buy the Lost River property for Jacks band and not demanded he return to the Klamath Reservation and trouble with distance bands of Modoc. But the government is great at driving the cost of everything extremely expensive and complicated 😢. This whole situation is just so sad and preventable but to save a little we spend alot😢

I have spent many days hiking around the lava beds. I've walked down the sand wash. The land is very interesting it's like a maze. It's funny whenever the native people, my ancestors. Won a confrontation it was called a massacre. However when the calvary won, it was called a battle.

@@chipewwa1 Wounded knee, sand creek, Klamath lake, bloody island. I even mention one on this episode, the Wright Massacre. I think it depends on your perspective. Someone recently left a very similar comment here, only they were saying the exact opposite that when whites won it was called a massacre and when the indians won it was called a battle. Both sides did plenty of massacering, for sure. And the Native Americans sadly got the worst of it.

@chipewwa1 5 місяців тому

@@WildWestExtravaganza what is truly amazing to me is that the native people. Weren't American citizens until June sixth nineteen twenty four. Which means a lot of the code talkers in WWII. Were born non American citizens. Yet they chose to help a government. That basically despised them. When they were done in WWII. They were put back on their reservations. Until the equal rights amendment in 1964. Allowing native's to be off of their reservations.
