Another reference topic. Any additions will be a new post so you'll be alerted that something has changed.

A brief History of Cartwright Falls.

The area now known as Cartwright falls was known to the Native American Tribes as ‘The Forest of Eyes’ in the Lushootseed Language. The area around Cartwright Falls was believed to hold some type of cultural of religious significance to the tribes as it was never permanently settled and the only structures found appear to be temporary alter like creations.

The forest of eyes is believed to have been a burial ground for human sacrifices as most of the bodies found in the woods died from similar head trauma. Unfortunately it is impossible to know what exactly happened as the information is lost to time.

In 1859 Benjamin Cartwright arrives with 87 settlers and founds Cartwright Falls with little problem. They encounter no Natives. Work is focused on setting up a lumber mill using the water fall to power the wheel. Attempts at mining also begin but ultimately prove fruitless.

By 1860 Cartwright Falls is starting to take shape. However the focus on productivity means the town is not prepared for the harshest winter on record. After food runs out the settlers begin to dig up their dead from the frozen soil for food. Those that refuse quickly succumb to starvation and are eaten by those that survive.

The macabre situation eventually begins to affect the town and people report seeing shadowy figures and hearing voices on the wind. Tempers become frayed and reach breaking point. Cartwright takes control of the situation by enforcing his own brand of justice with an iron fist.

Isolation takes its toll and Cartwright’s mind drifts into egotistical delusion while he and those around him starve. Among the new laws he seemingly creates on a whim is one that states “No man Woman or child may look him in the eye at any time.” He kills three people including a eight year old girl for breaking it.

Cartwright is in turn lynched by the remaining settlers strong enough to do so. He is then eaten.

The settlers begin reporting headaches and nausea. Diary entries become more sporadic with the last one belonging to a seventeen year old girl called Ellie Finnegan, it simply reads “The end is upon me”

Two weeks after the Ellie Finnegan’s entry Captain Dale Cooper of the US Army arrives with a search party. They find badly mutilated bodies which Cooper attributes to Natives as he believed trophies were taken from the bodies, he does not elaborate but it is thought he was referring to scalps. Cooper finds three survivors, two are mute and the last one Ellie Finnegan can only repeat the phrase “A sight for sore eyes.”

Despite the violence at the town Cooper decides that Cartwright Falls has potential so he presses on where the original settlers left off. Under his improved leadership the town flourishes, his only misstep was to push ahead with the mine which never turns up anything of use. The forest however provides the mill with all it needs for success.

The depression however affected the town badly as did the rapid development of America’s economy which left the town somewhat stagnant.
