Bartle’s Camp – 1856

Bartle’s Camp was a stage stop on the first wagon road into Siskiyou County. The road, known as Military Pass Road, circled Mt. Shasta to the east and north and linked Fort Crook and Fort Jones, with the railroad advancing as far as Bartle. The town had two hotels, a train station, a blacksmith shop, a saloon, a sporting house, and its own newspaper for several years. Changing times and modes of transportation eventually caused the demise of this small but important town of Bartle.
