Abstract
The Rogue River War of 1855 to 1856 was a series of armed conflicts fought between U.S. Army regulars, local militia, and a conglomerate of indigenous groups in the Rogue River watershed. The main cause of the conflict was the intrusion of white settlers and miners into the territory of the indigenous people of the Rogue River. These white immigrants misused resources upon which the local indigenous people relied and violently retaliated against local indigenous people for misdeeds they often did not commit. The Lupton Massacre, Battle of Hungry Hill, and the Battle of Big Bend serve as critical points in this war which represented the end of any effective indigenous resistance to white control of Oregon lands.
