Edweard Muybridge is commissioned by the U.S. Army in 1873 to photograph the Modoc War in northern California and Oregon.

Many of his stereoscopic photos are published widely, and can still be found today.

The war ends with the deaths of half the small Modoc tribe and the transshipment of the remainder to Indian Territory.
