 | | Edward Richard Sprigg Canby (November 9 1817 – April 11 1873) was a career U.S. Army officer and a Union general in the American Civil War and Indian Wars. |
 | | This frustrated and infuriated Canby because, as far as he was concerned, his own authority trumped the governor's and made the threat irrelevant because Canby had no intention of allowing the Modocs to be molested if they surrendered, especially without a trial. |
 | | On April 11, 1873, after months of false starts and aborted meetings, Canby went unarmed, and with some hope of final resolution, to talks that were to be held midway between the army encampment and Captian Jack's Stronghold near Tule Lake. |
