Sherman Letter Outlines Indian Policy and Modoc War Tactics
New York April 21 The Herald prints General Sherman letters dated April 17 advocating harsh measures against Modoc fighters and a strict Indian policy. He urges extended military cordons, says many horses and rifles were stolen, and argues tribes must be punished or appeased by conduct. The Herald counters with calls for decisive policy shifts and Sheridan’s potential role. Reports from San Francisco recount Modoc treachery, past massacres, and the Lava Beds siege with cave fortresses and looming threats from allied tribes.
