The book Life of Alfred B. Meacham: Together with His Lecture, The Tragedy of the Lava Beds is a biography of American politician and Indian agent Alfred B. Meacham, written by Thomas Augustus Bland and first published in 1883. The book provides a detailed account of Meacham's life, from his childhood in New York to his time as a lawyer, judge, and member of Congress in Oregon.One of the highlights of the book is Meacham's lecture on the Modoc War, which took place in 1872-1873 between the Modoc people of California and Oregon and the United States Army. Meacham was appointed as a peace commissioner during the conflict and played a key role in negotiating a treaty with the Modoc people. However, tensions escalated and the conflict ultimately resulted in the deaths of several soldiers and Modoc leaders.The book provides a firsthand account of Meacham's experiences during the Modoc War, as well as his perspectives on the broader issues of Indian-white relations in the United States during the late 19th century. It also includes a number of letters and other documents written by Meacham, offering readers a glimpse into his personal and professional life. Overall, Life of Alfred B. Meacham is a valuable historical document that sheds light on an important period in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
