Illinois Valley News, Cave Junction, Ore. Wednesday, June 6, 2018 Page A-5 The Plaques of E Clampus Vitus: by Sublime Grand Noble Bill Wensrich Bartle’s Camp The Plaques of E Clampus Vitus-- Humbug Chapter No. 73 The fourteenth in a continuing series of articles prepared by Bill Wensrich “If you ain’t plaque’n, then you ain’t Clampin’” Located along a wagon road that later became part of a route named Military Pass Road, Bartle’s Camp grew in importance. Serving as a stage and freighting hub, the camp supported critical communications and supply needs for two nearby military outposts, Fort Crook and Fort Jones. In 1983, E Clampus Vitus commemorated the old stage stop with a stone historical monument. You can view the plaque in Bartle 17 miles east of McCloud, California on Highway 89. When the Bartle’s Camp historical monument was erected, Don Snyder was presiding Humbug of local ECV Chapter Number 73. This was his plaque; he was the “go-to guy.” Snyder got the rock monument built at the old stage stop with the help of Todd Dole and Russ Wars. Russ was the rock guy who built the ECV Klamathon monument the year before. Bill Wilson, the Vice Humbug at the time, coordinated the weekend Doin’s function where all attending Clampers camped overnight on the nearby McCloud River property of California’s famous William Randolph Hearst’s Bavarian Castle. Almost 80 redshirts enjoyed the ECV festivities that weekend. They witnessed the initiation of worthy candidates into the Ancient and Honorable Order including one Hearst Castle property caretaker. The Friday evening party must have been a humdinger going on into the wee hours because I’m told only twenty five people participated in the plaque dedication ceremony. Military Pass is a long gap between Mount Shasta and The Whaleback point of reference to the north of Bartle. Military Pass Road was officially named by Siskiyou County in the 1940s. County staff believed the road, between Fort Crook and Fort Jones, was first used by the army to protect newly arriving emigrants on their way to Shasta Valley. This road, next to what we call today Bartle’s Camp, was part of many other nineteenth century wagon roads that followed routes first used by Indians and then fur trappers traveling on foot or horseback. At that time in the 1850s and 1860s, there was a stage station on the McCloud River in the Bartle area and was referred to as the McCloud Station. Bartle’s relationship to the nearby military forts can be better understood using information provided by the Southwest Shasta Historical Group. Established in July 1857 for the protection of immigrant settlers, Fort Crook was named by one Lt. Gardiner. The Fort bore the Crook moniker because Gardiner believed Lt. George Crook to be a man of compassion. Crook regarded Indians as human beings, a group of people he treated as men rather than animals. On the county road between Glenburn and Dana in northeastern Shasta County you can find the 1934 rock memorial to old Fort Crook which once stood beneath Soldier Mountain Lookout in Shasta National Forest. Fort Jones, strategically located for operations against Indians, was built in 1851 and occupied until 1858. We can conclude that Bartle’s support role for the Dragoon Companies occupying both forts was brief. The closure of Fort Crook in 1869 likely led to the demise of the early Bartle’s Camp. Later, the advance of the railroad brought more people to the area and the place we now call Bartle realized a slow renaissance evolving from ranch and old stage line to a place of hotels servicing nearby sawmills, timbermen, ranchers, cattlemen, sportsmen and travelers.
