Description:
Named for a man named Eshom, who was one of the first residents of the
region. Eshom. Valley was a camping-place of Indians. The Indian name,
Cha-ha-du, means “Place where clover grows the year round.” (George W.
Stewart.) From Place Names of the High Sierra (1926) by Francis P. Farquhar
The rattlesnake dance of the Yokuts was done here at Eshom Valley, as well as other places to ward off being bitten by rattlesnakes. From Oak to Pine to Timberline by Helen and Forest Clingman
Something called the Ghost Dance was done here. The idea was to drive out the invading white settlers who were bringing in disease and displacing Indians. This displacement was either by their presence or by waging a campaign of terror. Eshom Valley was chosen due to its central nature, yet remoteness.It was first done in 1871. By 1875 it had almost disappeared. At its height, 500 people attended. From Oak to Pine to Timberline by Helen and Forest Clingman
