Thomas-Wright Battlefield - Lava Beds National Monument
The fight which occured here was the last Modoc victory during the battles in 1873 with the US Army. The Army wanted the Modocs to relocate to a reservation in Oregon. The Modocs did not want to leave their ancient homeland. The trail to Black Crater starts at the same place. The trail to the battlefield is a little over a mile long. - Thomas-Wright Battlefield - Lava Beds National Monument -
