Life And Death In The Lava Beds

Lee Juillerat walks us into the Lava Beds.

Open warfare broke out between the U.S. government and Native Americans many times in our region in the late 19th century. 

The incidents include the Modoc War of the 1870s, which took place in and around what is now the Lava Beds National Monument. 

The Modoc War and its setting have been explored many times in print, including the book Modoc: The Tribe That Wouldn't Die by , and a new book on the themselves by Herald and News (Klamath Falls) reporter Lee Juillerat. 

They visit The Exchange to breathe new life into the people and the place.
