  • The Story of Susan's Bluff and Susan
    A Working Organization Dedicated to Marking the California Trail FALL 2011 The Story of Susan’s Bluff and Susan Story by Denise Moorman Photos by Jim Moorman and Larry Schmidt It’s 1849 on the Carson Trail. Emigrant wagon trains and 49ers are winding their way through the newly acquired Upper California territory (western Nevada) on their way to the goldfields, settlements and cities of California. One of the many routes through running through this area follows along the Carson River between the modern Fort Churchill Historic Site and the town of Dayton. Although not as popular as the faster Twenty-Six Mile Desert cutoff, which ran roughly where U.S. Highway 50 goes today, the Carson River route provided valuable feed and water for the stock the New Trails West Marker, CR-20 at Susan’s Bluff. pioneers still had.

As soon as our families are settled and time can be spared we must look for another way that avoids the river.” -Lindsay Applegate In 1846 Jesse and Lindsay Applegate and 13 others from near Dallas, Oregon, headed south following old trapper trails into a remote region of Oregon Country. An Umpqua Indian showed them a foot trail that crossed the Calapooya Mountains, then on to Umpqua Valley, Canyon Creek, and the Rogue Valley. They next turned east and went over the Cascade Mountains to the Klamath Basin. The party devised pathways through canyons and mountain passes, connecting the trail south from the Willamette Valley with the existing California Trail to Fort Hall, Idaho. In August 1846, the first emigrants to trek the new southern road left Fort Hall.

(Photo by Helen Helfrich) FORGOTTEN TRAILS Strange, is it not? That of the myriads who Before us pass'd the door of Darkness through Not one returns to tell us of the Trail, Which to discover we must travel, too. Apologies to Omar Khayyam. Hannah Ann (Davis) Hendricks (Courtesy Fred Elvin Inlow) DEDICATION We respectfully dedicate this, the fourteenth issue of Klamath Echoes, to Hanna Ann Davis, 14 years of age in 1847. She came west across the plains with her father, three brothers and four sisters, her mother having died en route. Traveling the Oregon- California and Applegate Trails, they arrived at Fandango Valley, east of Goose Lake in extreme Northeastern California on September 29, 1847. While Hanna Ann was preparing the evening meal, three arrows were fired into the camp by Indians hiding in the nearby brush. Two of the arrows struck Hanna Ann. One passed through the calf of her leg and the other through her arm and into her side. She fell into the fire and was severely burned. According to Lester G. Hulin, the 1847 diarist, three days later Hanna Ann was still unable to ride in a wagon and "had to be carried by a stage [stretcher?]. Only recently have we learned (from information furnished by Fred Elvin Inlow, Medford, Oregon, a distant relative) that Hanna Ann survived, later married, and raised a family of ten children.
