Aide Appointment to Major General John F. Miller, Oregon Militia Commander, Modoc Indian War

[Wolfhound]

I picked this up on ebay years ago, if I recall correctly, for $16? as the only bidder Originally purchased because the seller claimed Hendricks Park in Eugene was named after Major Hendricks (have never been able to verify that), but I did discover that Maj. Gen. John F. Miller was the commander of the Oregon militia in 1871 and led Oregon forces in the Modoc Indian War.
