The complete Plainsmen Series by the late Terry C. Johnston, is an outstanding saga of the so called Indian Wars on the Great Plains (southern Oregon in this book). Mr. Johnston obviously did meticulous research for all his books. He presented the stories of these wars in an even handed manner. I absolutely enjoyed reading the series. It is ashamed Mr. Johnston passed away at such a young age. He was a very talented writer.
A very well written acount of the Modoc War

This is the first (and not last) book I've read by Johnston, and it was very good. At times it was hard to keep reading it, at times it was hard to put down. I'm very glad I read this, and I think anyone else interested in this time period should definetly pick this up. And of course read it.
