Description: "The Lava Beds National Monument is truly 'the Devil's Homestead.' An eerie landscape created by massive and repeated lava flows, it is place of stark beauty and rich history. The Modoc War was fought there, cowboys and Native Americans made their livings there, and since 1925 it has been preserved as part of our national heritage. This special volume commemorates the 75th anniversary of the Lava Beds National Monument with a collection of memoirs, interviews and original articles that make that history come alive."
