~Sis'-ki-you~, _n._ Cree. (Anderson.) _A bob-tailed horse._
This name, ludicrously enough, has been bestowed on the range of mountains
separating Oregon and California, and also on a county in the latter
State. The origin of this designation, as related to me by Mr. Anderson,
was as follows. Mr. Archibald R. McLeod, a chief factor of the Hudson's
Bay Company, in the year 1828, while crossing the mountains with a pack
train, was over-taken by a snow storm, in which he lost most of his
animals, including a noted bob-tailed race-horse. His Canadian followers,
in compliment to their chief, or "bourgeois," named the place the Pass of
the Siskiyou,--an appellation subsequently adopted as the veritable Indian
name of the locality, and which thence extended to the whole range, and
the adjoining district.
