AMERICAN LAKE
“CAMP LEWIS";
TACOMA Wash., Sept. 15.—Amer
ican Uike, where has been establish
ed Camp Lewis for the training of
many thousand soldiers of the new
“Liberty Army,” is in a section rich
in historic lore.
American Lake is one of several
lakes in an expanse of level country
between Puget Sound and the foot
hills of the Cascade mountains, to the
south of Tacoma. This section is
known as American Prairie, the name
given to it at the first Fourth of July
celebration on the Pacific coast in
1841. Up to that time it was known
as Missionary Prairie. The celebra
tion is said to have been the first
pre-arranged patriotic observance to
the westward of the Mississippi river.
There were not many whites in this
region up to 1841. Fort Nisqually
was maintained as a Hudson Fay com
pany post through the early part of
the last century and up to INTO. It
was at this fort that Captain Charles
Wilkes arrived with two schooners
early in 1841. This was part of an
expedition on scientific research, au
thorized by congressional act of May
18. 1856. Under instructions several
vessels proceeded into southern wat
ers, and later two schooners, the \ in
cennes and the Porpoise, voyaged all
along the California coast anti the
Pacific Northwest section. In the
spring of 1841 they entered Puget
Sound.
It seems to have been purely a sci
entific expedition and the several sci
entists along operated with Fort Nis
qualy as their base.
As the Fourth of July was coming
along arrangements were made for
observance of the day, and this in
cluded a barbecue and program of
sports, participated in by marines and
the friendly Indians. This celebra
tion took place at the head of Lake
Sequalitchew, near old Fort Xisqual
ly. It was on this occasion that Cap
tain Wilkes and a small party walk
ed over to the adjoining lake, and
while this lake had no important part
in the celebration, he named it Amer
ican. Up to this time the lake bore
the name Spootsylth, which suggests
the uncanny reputation it bore mang
the Indians. They would for some
superstitious reason never bathe in the
lake. Americans are not given to that
feeling and do so with* impunity.
Among the early residents tin re
was some dispute as to how Wilkes
came to name the lake, American. 'I lie
reason appears obvious, but some re
counted the fact that Or. J. P. Rich
mond, a missionary in the section, de
livered the Fourth of July oration, and
he and his wife were with Captain
Wilkes when he named the lake. Mrs.
Richmond’s tirst name was America,
and some have contended the captain
gallantly applied it.
Anyhow, it became American Lake
and American Prairie.
A modest monument marks the spot
of the celebration. The historians sup
posed they knew this exact spot up
to eleven years ago, but to make cer
tain Slugimas Koquilton, an aged In
dian, was one day taken out, and
while many changes of vegetation had
taken place since he saw it forty years
before, he fixed the spot in a different
location, and there the monument was i
unveiled sixty-five years after the
celebration.
