ReplyDeleteIt's not about the Indian Wars per se, but you might want to note Robert W. Johannsen's first book, _Frontier Politics and the Sectional Conflict: The Pacific Northwest on the Eve of the Civil War_. It's sadly out-of-print, but used copies are still easily available.

It is a great book. I am surprised that Washington hasn't reprinted it after it was retitled and reissued in '66. Nothing else has emerged, at least that I know of, that covers the same material.
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs to write a book about the Civil War years in Oregon. There is a 1st Oregon Cavalry regimental history in the works but nothing that attempts a broad military, social, and political history of the state's war experience.
It is even more surprising that no one has done so for California.
