What's In a Name?

The most popular version of how the Siskiyou Mountain Range got it's name is from the Cree Native American word for Bob-tailed Horse. Back in the early 1800's (1820-1830), A.R. McLeod was in the area with the Hudson Bay Company expedition and brought along with him some of the Cree people to assist in the expedition. The story has it that McLeod's horse, while crossing the Siskiyou pass died, an thus the Siskiyou Mountain Range was named. Or so the story goes, there are multiple variations to the naming of the Siskiyou range, but most of them are similar to that.
