Additional Description: The Indian Wars Indian wars, often provoked by wild rumors and misinterpreted facts, erupted in the 1850’s and 1860’s. While commander of the Department, Edward Canby was killed in the Modoc wars in Southern Oregon. Under the command of O. O. Howard, the tribes led by Chief Joseph and Chief Homily were confined to reservations. Indians who refused to stay on reservations were often sentenced to work on the railroads, canals and other public projects protected by the Army.
