History of Bishop Rock

Local name reported in 1902 by A. J. Collier, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). So called because Roman Catholic Archbishop Seagher of Oregon was murdered near here in 1885 "by a half-breed attendant, when engaged upon a missionary prospecting journey in the winter. A memorial cross was erected by the Jesuit Fathers of Nulato * * *" on this hill (Stuck, 1917, p. 164).
