The far west was certainly not immune to the various political/social impacts of the nation’s Civil War.
In future posts we will be exploring numerous events and conflicts that transpired locally influenced by the Civil War.
Take for instance, there was once a district in the region known as the Honey Lake Valley known as the Tule Confederacy, as large contigent of settlers were southern sympathizers. Yet, by 1900, the term had been shortened to the Tules. In the last few generations this term, too, has faded away. Some may also heard the region known as Seven Bridges.
Lastly, as a final remnant is Skedaddle Mountain. It was so named by a term the southerners of the Civil War used to “flee.”
This is so interesting! As all of your postings!
