The Oregon war began in 1851, when the
Indians resisted the settlement of the coun-
try by the whites. There was fight at the
Rogue river on June q, which was won by
Maj. Kearney. Two years later war broke
out again, and a treaty of peace was
signed, but in 1855 a volunteer company
made an attack on an Indian camp at the
mouth of Battle creek, killing twenty
three and wounding hundreds during the
night When daylight came 1t was found
that the dead were mostly old men, wo-
men and children, and The Indians began
bitter struggle, which cost hundreds of
lives on either side. The cost of the war
was placed at 81 ,S89.996.
The California Indian war of 1854-59 cost
100000, and was due to resistance by the
Indians TO the settlement of their lands.
A similar war was that of 1861 in New
Mexico.
More serious was the bloody struggle
with the Cheyennes and Arapahoes in 1861
65. These tribes had been peaceful, but
many treaties made by them had been
broken and in 1861, losing confidence in
the honor of the white race, they began
hostilities While negotiations for a peace
were pending Col. Chivington destroyed a
Cheyenne village killing 100 men, women
and children. war more fierce than
ever followed in which the United States
lost several hundred soldiers and was put
to an expense of $40 10000.
The Minnesota Indian war of 1862 was
Waged by Sioux, who under the leadership
of Little Crow, attacked Forts Ridgely end
Abercrombie, killing 500 whites. Gen. Slb-
ley repulsed them, taking 800 prisoners, 81
of whom were hanged. The outbreaks
continued, and three generals took five
years to put an end to them.

1S7S-'79, $34 200, and Sioux 1890 81, s. 100000.
There is no need TO go into the details
OF these wars. Their causes were much
the same-disregard of treaty rights caus-
ed by desire of the whites for their rich
lands. They were waged in guerilla style
by the Indians and neither red men nor
white men had much regard for the rules
of ordinary warfare. Finally the unequal
conflict would be ended by the force of
Overwhelming numbers.
