Hallie Morse Daggett, a refined woman educated in San Francisco, was drawn by her deep love for her childhood home at the Black Bear Mine near Sawyers Bar back to the mountains, where the hunting, fishing, riding, trapping, and shooting skills she learned early in life served her well at a lookout high above the Salmon River. She became the first woman in the nation to serve as a U.S. Forest Service fire lookout, hired by the Klamath National Forest in 1913, and she served at the Eddy Gulch Lookout for 15 years. She was the daughter of John and Alice Daggett, a pioneer family; her father was a successful miner who also served as California’s Lieutenant Governor and Superintendent of the U.S. Mint in San Francisco. A rustic home was built for her in Etna in 1951 on a Main Street lot next to her sister Leslie’s home, and she lived there until her death in 1964. Her home was donated to the City of Etna by the Rosemary Holsinger family in 1993, then moved to the city park and developed as a historical interpretive site completed in 1996 through a volunteer citizen’s committee, as identified in the Etna Community Action plan and funded by grants from the U.S. Forest Service under President Bill Clinton’s Northwest Economic Adjustment Initiative and from the Ore-Cal Resource Conservation and Development Area, with sponsorship from the Native Daughters of the American West.
