| History : | Boston Bar was so named because of the numerous Americans washing for gold in the bar in the Fraser River at this point. Since the first American ships off our coast were almost invariably from Boston, the natives took to calling the Americans “Boston men”. Similarly, the natives called the British “King George men”. In 1859 Arthur Bushby noted in his journal that it “is quite strange to see how soon the Indians detect the Boston men & how they dislike them and how much they like King George man”. Provoked by the Americans, the Indians in the Fraser Canyon began to murder isolated parties of whites washing the bars of the Fraser. The trouble culminated in the so-called “Battle of Boston Bar” on August 14, 1858. A correspondent of the San Francisco Bulletin who was present reported the fight “lasted three hours, and resulted in the complete rout of the savages. Seven of the Indians are known to have been killed and a number wounded. One white man only was wounded, and that slightly in the arm. About 150 white men were in the fight.” According to some authorities, “The Battle of Boston Bar” actually took place at Spuzzum. The original Indian village at Boston Bar was named Koia’um, often spelt Quayome, meaning “to pick berries.” | ||
