The Pacific Coast Theater of the American Civil War was the military operations in the United States bordering or close to the Pacific Ocean. The theater was encompassed by the Department of the Pacific that included the states of California, Oregon, and Nevada, Washington Territory, Utah Territory, and later Idaho Territory.[1] The operations of Union volunteer troop detachments from the states of California and Oregon were directed against Indians in the theater. Union and Confederate forces did not meet within the theater. The campaign classification established by the United States National Park Service lists only one campaign and one battle in this theater, the Battle of Bear River.[2] However this is not correct, there there several campaigns aganst the Indian tribes besides the Shoshone. In Northern California there was the ongoing Bald Hills War (1858-1864) against the Wiyot, Yurok, Karuk, Hupa, Tsnungwe, and Whilkut. Also ongoing hostilites with with the Tolowa, Nomlaki,Chimariko, Wintun and others. Between 1861 and 1864, there was the Owens Valley Indian War [3] against the Owens Valley Paiutes or Numa and against their friends among the Kawaiisu in the Sierra Mountains to the west. During the Civil War, volunteer patrols had several clashes with Paiute, Bannock, and Shoshone in Oregon and Territories of Washington (later Idaho), Utah, and Nevada. Other operations west of the Mississippi River are included in the Trans-Mississippi Theater. [edit] See also
