Notes on the history of Pinnacles National Monument

Notes on the history of Pinnacles National Monument

Regional Supervisor of Historic Sites Hagen provides a brief history of the area containing Pinnacles National Monument, tracing its history from the time of Spanish occupation of the region and the possible first discovery of the Pinnacle rock formations by Captain George Vancouver. While Hagen notes that there is some evidence of prehistoric occupation of the area, he says that it does not appear to have supported permanent populations, and in fact “received little attention until long after the American occupation of California.” He notes that the area is believed to have been used as a hide-out for outlaws at one point.

Letter from Raymond Tyler to Schuyler Colfax Hain

Letter from Raymond Tyler to Schuyler Colfax Hain

Forest Supervisor Tyler responds to a letter from Schuyler Colfax Hain that he received upon returning from a trip into the field. Tyler informs Hain of the reasons why the Monterey National Forest service pressed for the elimination of the Pinnacles Division from the National Forest. The recommendation included the preservation of the area through the establishment of Pinnacles National Monument, with the surrounding land neither being current nor future forest land, having scarce grazing, and experiencing little watershed impact. Tyler has not heard back on the final disposition of the Pinnacles, and will forward Hain’s letter to the District Forester regarding the perpetuation of the State Game Preserve if the Pinnacles Division is removed.
