Lava Beds National Monument - Historic Photos & Travel Guide | Explore California's Volcanic Landscape for Hiking & Adventure

This book by my friend and longtime Klamath Falls newspaperman and historian, Lee Juillerat, is a wonderful introduction to Lava Beds National Monument south of Tule Lake at the California/Oregon border. It is a national park managed by the National Park Service and is filled with fascinating geological phenomena, as well as being the site of the 1873 Modoc Indian War which historians have described as one of the most significant Indian wars in American history.Lee's book on Lava Beds National Monument is easy reading and is well supplemented with an array of very interesting photographs of the lava beds. History buffs will particularly enjoy the chapter on the Modoc War which includes historic photographs by Eadweard Muybridge and sketches by William Simpson.If you are interested in, or planning a vacation to Lava Beds National Monument, Lee's book is an introductory must. And if you find the Modoc War particularly interesting, please consider also buying my own book on the Modoc War. titled "Modoc Vengeance" and listed here on Amazon.Daniel Woodhead, IIISan Francisco
