"The only genuine Photographs of Captain Jack, and the Modoc Indians." The Modoc War was the only major conflict in California between the indigenous people of the area and the U.S. Army. After Captain Jack's surrender at Willow Creek in June of 1873 the surviving Modocs were forced to relocate to the Quapaw Agency in Oklahoma. Carleton E. Watkins (1829-1916) was one of the finest photographers of the nineteenth century. Between 1854 and 1891 he documented the American West from southern California to British Columbia and inland to Montana, Utah, and Arizona. He was a sympathetic and masterful recorder; whose pictures possess a clarity and strength equal to the magnificence of the land.

[1] Chief Tecopa was a leader of the Southern Nevada tribe of the Paiute in the Ash Meadows and Pahrump areas. In the 1840s Tecopa and his warriors engaged the expedition of Kit Carson and John C. Fremont in a three-day battle at Resting Springs.[2] Later on in life Tecopa tried to maintain peaceful relations with the white settlers to the region and was known as a peacemaker. [3] Tecopa usually wore a bright red band suit with gold braid and a silk top hat. Whenever these clothes wore out they were replaced by the local white miners out of gratitude for Tecopa's help in maintaining peaceful relations with the Paiute.
