Chapter 1
The Oregon Territory was settled in 1848. Soon, settlers began pushingtheir way north of the Columbia River. The new settlement was calledthe Columbia Territory. All of its laws and government were under thelaw the Oregon Territory. As the area began to grow in number, thesettlers there began demanding a separation from Oregon.
A federal bill was introduced on February 8, 1853, to separate theColumbia Territory from the Oregon Territory.
Richard H. Stanton, the representative from Kentucky, amended the billthat was presented to the legislature. He changed the name of theterritory from “Columbia” to “Washington Territory,” in honor of ourfirst president, George Washington.
On March 2, 1853, President Fillmore signed the act that would establishthe new Washington Territory. The President sent Isaac Stevens to bethe new governor of the area. Washington Territory also included thepresent state of Idaho and parts of Montana and Wyoming.
The territory became a state on February 22, 1889 (Washington’sbirthday). It was signed into statehood by President Grover Clevelandand is the only state named after a president.

Chapter 1
The Sierra Nevada range produced some of the finest timber in thenation. But it was hard (and expensive) to transport the lumber overlandby horse teams. The Gold Rush years brought on a huge demand forlumber. The small mining camps in the mountains could get lumber fromthe Sierras, but growing cities like San Francisco and Sacramento couldget lumber cheaper from Oregon or even Washington Territory! Why?Because those lumber camps were near water, and the Sierra loggingcamps were not.
Later on, logging camps in the southern Sierras got inventive and builtwater-filled, V-shaped flumes—sometimes 60 miles long—to transport thetimber from the mountains into the valley.
Once the timber was cut, teams of oxen, sometimes as many as six to acart, were used to carry it to the mill. They would have to cover difficultand dangerous terrain that was steep and rocky. Sometimes the logs werefloated down river to the sawmill, which was located on the banks for easyaccess to the logs.
Sawmills were dirty, noisy, unsafe places. They were usually built up in themost mountainous areas and—if possible—near rivers. Being near thewater allowed for the timber to be cut down and hauled to the mill muchquicker. The Sugar Pine Camp’s sawmill used a flume to transport the cutlumber 60 miles to Madera, CA, in the valley. Later, the railroads werebuilt up to the sawmills to help with transporting the timber.
Most sawmill “camps”were like a small village.They housed theloggers and sawyerswho worked there.There was acookhouse and arecreational building aswell.
