Abandonment of Fort Humboldt
This article appeared in the Humboldt Times on August 24, 1861.
ABANDONMENT OF FORT HUMBOLDT.---We learn from Capt. Lovell, that he has received orders from headquarters to locate and build a new station at or near Larabee's creek. The new fort is to be built by soldiers, and as soon as it can be made habitable, he is to remove his command from Fort Humboldt to it. Capt. Collins is ordered to take command of Fort Gaston in Hoopa, in place of Maj. Underwood, who is ordered East. Our citizens will miss the command at Humboldt much; it being one of our oldest county institutions.
