When I lived in Fortuna (many years after this story), I use to love going to Fort Humboldt. I was impressed with how small it was, the fact that Ulysses S Grant had been stationed there (prior to the Civil Way), and the tragedy of how the peaceful natives were treated. I was also impressed that their methods of cutting down a Redwood were very similar to how the early Lumberjacks did it, except they did it with sharpened stones.
