Modoc War Vet Seeks Pay From State After 50 Years
John H. French of Buttercreek, an old Modoc Indian War scout, says he waited half a century for pay for his service in southern Oregon. He fought three months, supplied his own gear, and risked his life protecting others, noting the state appropriated funds but paid few veterans before exhausting the pot. A later $50,000 was added to settle payments. French recalls Vinegar Creek area since 1869 and describes western Uma tilla county’s transformation from a barren, animal-filled frontier to lush alfalfa farms and growing towns.
