In the canyon to the right, the last battle between Indians and whites in Tuolumne County took place on February 10, 1858, when a band of Piutes attacked a group of employees of the Columbia & Stanislaus River Water Co. In the fight that followed, Jerry Perley was killed, S. Waldron and Michael Hildreth were wounded, T. Enochs escaped by feigning death, and two Indians were killed. The Indians then escaped a pursuing party of Columbian miners led by Fred Hildreth by crossing the summit into their tribal area.
