CHILD OF TH DEVIL'S GARDEN

CHILD OF THE DEVIL'S GARDEN is the autobiographical adventures of a young boy, born and raised during the lumbering industry's boom in the high, rugged, most northeastern county in California. Modoc County is home to the Devil's Garden, a mile-high, expansive, prehistoric lava flow plateau covering an area of a half-million acres. It is rich in stories of the history of settling the Northwest and of bloody warfare upon the Devil's Garden. The Devil's Garden was the site of the last and only major Indian war fought in California, and the only Indian war in which a regular Army general was killed, and an Indian Chief hanged. Considering the number of individuals involved, it was also the costliest Indian war in our nation's history.
