This is a locally-produced chronicle about the Modoc War of 1872 to 1873 and Modoc leader, Captain Jack, based on the book,The Tribe That Wouldn't Die, by Cheewa James. For nearly seven months, a group of Modoc warriors and their families led by Captain Jack held off hundreds of U.S. Army soldiers, as they fought to return to their homeland in the Lost River country of northern California and live independently from the Klamath reservation in southwest Oregon. The Modoc War was one of the costliest American Indian wars in U.S. history, considering the number of people involved.
