LIFE AMONGST THE MODOCS;
UNWRITTEN HISTORY,
BY
JOAQUIN MILLER.
This book just published in England has been most warmly eulogized there by the press and the public.
Its appearance here is producing the greatest sensation, written as it was from a stand-point which gave its author a view of his subject not attainable by other writers. For years Mr. Miller lived with the Modocs—not as a prisoner, but voluntarily and as one them, enjoying their confidences, joining in their sports and hunts, sympathizing in their sorrows, taking part in their wars, visiting settlements and towns where he purchased arms and ammunition, and found means to convey them to the warriors lying in wait outside, and taking such action in the quarrels between the Indians and the whites as entitles him to the warmest praise as one who dared espouse the cause of the weak and oppressed in the face of public opinion, or of overwhelming condemnation as a renegade and traitor to his own people.
It is a wonderful book, full of romance and poetry. The reader will find himself enwrapped in the story and will rise from its reading with new views and ideas of the subject. It is the Indians side of the story, told by a master hand in an enchanting style and in eloquent language.
