From the publisher

Devil's Backbone

Terry C. Johnston


The Modoc Indians and American officials had been flirting with war in the Oregon Territory for some time. When Modoc chief Keintpoos murdered a Civil War hero during negotiations, the U.S. Army launched a deadly offensive against the rebel tribe. Besieged in the natural stronghold of the Lava Beds near Tule Lake, the Modocs waged bloody war for seven long months.

Sergeant Seamus Donegan, on the trail of his uncle, Ian O'Rourke, arrived at Tule Lake just as the conflict erupted. Soon Donegan and the brooding O'Rourke found themselves embroiled in what would be the costliest war in frontier history...

First line

"Bloody right we'll share a drink one day soon, old man," Seamus Donegan whispered quietly to himself as he folded Sam Marr's letter and stuffed it in one of the big pockets on his canvas mackinaw, his heart awash with memories of the man who had started north up the bloody Bozeman Road with him five years before.
