Massacre of Modoc Captives Tied to Oregon Volunteers
Eyewitness accounts describe a brutal attack on Modoc captives by Oregon volunteers near Lost River, with Fairchild and others fleeing as women and children cried. Six or seven Modoc warriors died, including Little John, Jack, Pony, and Mooch, amid a chaotic foray that left the wagon scorched and the captives slain.
