Book Title: Illustrated History Of Plumas, Lassen & Sierra Counties

TULE CONFEDERACY.

   Lying on the north and west of Honey lake is a tract of swampy land, once
thickly grown with tules, containing about 20,000 acres. Until 1861 this was
known as the Schaefer ranch, but at the outbreak of the rebellion the majority
of settlers there were sympathizers with the Southern cause, and the name Tule
Confederacy was bestowed upon the section by the people. The present settlers
are a well-educated and prosperous class of farmers, engaged chiefly in raising
bay and grazing cattle. About 7,000 tons of hay are cut annually.
