Lincoln County Regulators were preparing an assault on the Modocs, and alongside forty men, including Roscoe Bryant, all fought at the Modoc War.[2] On 18 August they rode up to the Feliz and helped themselves to Tunstall's cattle.[3]

He participated in the Five Day Siege of the McSween house and was later involved with John Selman's cattle rustling operation.[4]

His body was found near Reese Gobly and James Irvin, presumably murdered by their fellows.[5]
