Located about a tenth of a mile south of the Historical Marker due to parking reasons on Kings Valley Rd. It's a cache and dash.
Called by several names, Camp Lincoln was established on June 13, 1862 at the Indian Agency near Crescent City, Del Norte County. On September 11, 1862, Major James F. Curtis moved the camp some six miles to a clearing in a forest of redwoods in order to observe stricter impartiality in the Army's attempts to effect a peaceful reconcilliation between the settlers and the Indians. The post was abandoned on June 11, 1869. The structure that formerly housed the Commanding Officers quarters has been rebuilt on the site. This is an ammo can with lots of stuff including more history on Camp Lincoln.
