Anecdote

From CHAPTER 1 Locked in a Colonial Hinterland, 1851-1884
of the book
DOMAIN OF THE CAVEMEN, A Historic Resource Study of Oregon Caves National Monument by Stephen R. Mark, 2006

Elijah Jones Davidson is representative of both the settlement pattern on Williams Creek and that of other areas in the American West. He was part of a group celebrated by many nineteenth and early twentieth century historians, one who penetrated the unexplored wilds, waging battle with the forces of nature to impose their will on the land. Feted for their self-reliance and emphasis on individual freedom, these 'pioneers' embodied the reasons as to why Americans thought they could be considered exceptional, since Davidson and his neighbors were at the forefront of a quickly unfolding settlement wave across the continent. More recently some historians see this group of pioneers as derivative from one of four British folkways that imprinted a specific cultural pattern on the upland (or 'mountain') south, as distinct from the tidewater or piedmont regions. Davidson belonged to a group sometimes labeled the 'Scotch-Irish,' one often characterized by being restless, land-hungry, and having an acceptance of settling sparsely populated areas where their crops and livestock could be located some distance from their neighbors.

Although born in Illinois, Davidson (1849-1927) came to Oregon as an infant in a wagon by way of the overland route. After spending several years trying to farm donation land in what later became southeast Portland (the Laurelhurst Lake vicinity), Davidson's parents settled in Polk County near Monmouth by 1855. They then went south to Williams Creek in 1866 for unknown reasons, though Davidson's father probably went to join a cousin there who filed for a donation land claim in the Applegate Valley as far back as 1854. Elijah married in 1870 and lived around Williams at the time he discovered the Oregon Caves, though he and his wife later moved to Crescent City, and then Bandon, on the Oregon coast. The Davidsons even went to Nome, Alaska, for several years before returning to buy a farm at Missouri Flat, near Provolt, on the Applegate River.

In the generally accepted version of the cave's discovery, an account written almost fifty years later by Davidson, he described a hunting trip into the Siskiyou Mountains starting from Williams. It began with five other men, yet after one night's camp in the 'meadows' on Grayback Mountain, the group split up and each member hunted alone. The only contemporary account, one by Williams resident William W Fidler, was written in 1877 to document exploration of the cave, but not published until 1887. Fidler simply credited Davidson with accidental discovery while pursuing a wounded deer in company with his dog. Davidson, however, included a bear whose appearance shifted the focus of his hunt and thus became central to the first-person narrative. It concluded with some ingenuity on Davidson's part, in that he placed the dead deer in front of the cave, thereby luring the bear outside with a meal. Davidson could thus return the following day to bag the bruin while it slept after consuming much of the deer carcass. The only divergent account, albeit in a conversation record from the NPS management assistant at Oregon Caves in 1970, summarized the main points given by a Yurok Indian who claimed her grandfather guided the Davidson party. She recalled that William Norris, Sr., one of Davidson's neighbors, helped the party track a bear with dogs. Having chased their quarry inside the cave, three men and a dog entered and eventually killed the bear.

Even if there are some discrepancies concerning the discovery, it is worth noting that the emphasis placed on the priority assigned to Davidson has persisted. Although credited with discovery of the cave in published accounts of the 1880s, Davidson's importance magnified once Oregon Caves could be reached by automobile. A road from the Illinois Valley opened during the summer of 1922, the same year Davidson published his discovery narrative, and brought more visitors to the cave (10,000) than perhaps all previous years combined. At that point Oregon Caves went from a curiosity reached only by mountain trail to a regional draw that attracted private investment capital, though it required a subsidy by way of government-funded additions to infrastructure. Davidson did not stand to benefit from changes brought by the road, though he did supply a promotional vehicle (no matter how the story of discovering the cave was told) that virtually all visitors could understand. Cave tours were already a scripted experience, in that rooms acquired names for purposes of orientation, while formations elicited comparisons with terrestrial creatures and objects even in 1877. The discovery also provided a starting point for stories, often fanciful, though they served to reduce dissonance among visitors who associated a subterranean environment with gloom and melancholy. As a device for promotion, the Davidson narrative can be taken at face value, as another instance where a western wonder came to light through the lone frontiersman. It can also be appreciated symbolically, where the story's characters of hunter, dog, deer, and bear respectively pertain to male survival, loyalty, paradise, and the wild.

Only a small number of people visited for a decade after Davidson's discovery, with the few surviving accounts each repeating the same elements: disorienting travel through the cave, strangely beautiful formations of varying shapes and sizes, but also the taking of 'specimens' as souvenirs. In all probability these parties numbered fewer than ten, given the speed of travel by wagon to Williams and how relatively few people knew about the cave, much less possessed the means or desire to reach it. The absence of a wagon road or passable trail meant that prospective visitors needed to secure Davidson or one of his neighbors as a guide. These limitations effectively restricted touring parties to residents of Jacksonville, still the only town in southern Oregon where residents numbered more than five hundred.

In August 1884, however, a group led by Thomas Condon came from the University of Oregon in Eugene and stopped in Jacksonville on their way to the cave. Condon's lecture at a meeting hall on the geological structure of Oregon, one that outlined changes that took place over millions of years, paid for most of the travel expenses. He and several students continued by wagon to DavidsonÕs ranch near Williams, where the road ended, so that Carter Davidson (guide for several previous touring parties and brother of Elijah) could lead them to the cave. They used candles for illumination and noted how white the formations appeared, such that reflected light revealed 'millions of sparkling diamonds.' One participant mentioned obstacles in the form of slippery rocks, narrow passages, and low ceilings that hampered travel through even a portion of the cave, there being no ladders or other devices to assist visitors.

The prospects for easier access began to change less than a year later, some months after the railroad reached a small hamlet called Grants Pass on Christmas Eve of 1883. One of the Davidsons discussed the cave with Walter Burch, an acquaintance who began to explore the possibilities for a more direct route to it in November 1884. Now that Grants Pass possessed a rail connection from the north, Burch looked at how future visitors might approach what were then called the Josephine County Caves from the Illinois Valley. Instead of going over Grayback Mountain from Williams, he reasoned, a shorter and perhaps easier route might be blazed by way of Sucker Creek or one of its tributaries. Providing improved access with one or more trails was, however, contingent on Burch controlling the cave and land that surrounded it.³
