"The author, one of the best Northwest historical writers, was commissioned by the Oregon legislature to record the history of the early wars with the Indians of the Northwest. Set forth in detail are the causes, the events, and the records of the Cayuse war, the Rogue River wars, and the Yakima war that occurred during the first ten years of the Oregon Territory. The last 200 pages set forth the detailed muster rolls for each of the three wars, presenting the names of the soldiers and officers, their rank and companies, and the dates of service. There is also a very detailed Index to the entire volume."--Tweney-The Washington Eighty-Nine #79. This important work was determined by the State of Oregon to be "used and given away by said grand commander to pioneers and veterans of the Indian wars, who have had the largest experience in the early history of Oregon".
