Lot of 2 documents related to a Piute Indian War claim by Charles D. Moore who requisitioned a horse. Theodore Winters, famous Washoe Valley rancher, is testifying that he knew Moore and that Moore's claim is correct. One of the documents has a small newspaper ad attached about Piute Indian War and Indian Depredation Claims. The Paiute War, also known as the Pyramid Lake War, Washoe Indian War and the Pah Ute War, was an armed conflict between Northern Paiutes allied with the Shoshone and the Bannock against settlers from the United States, supported by military forces. It took place in May 1860 in the vicinity of Pyramid Lake in the Utah Territory, now in the northwest corner of present-day Nevada. The war was preceded by a series of increasingly violent incidents, culminating in two pitched battles in which 79 Whites and 25 Indigenous people were killed. Smaller raids and skirmishes continued until a cease-fire was agreed to in August 1860; there was no treaty.
