Portuguese Flat, California, was a mining camp of the early 1850s during the California Gold Rush, consisting largely of Portuguese miners, located about 35 miles north of Redding, California, United States). With its rich diggings, it gained the reputation of being one of the roughest camps in northern Shasta County. As late as 1933, just north of Pollard's Gulch on what is now I-5, one could see a few old tumbledown buildings, one ancient log cabin, and some veteran apple trees - all that remained of Portuguese Flat. Pioneers Ross McCloud and Mary Campbell McCloud operated an inn in Portuguese Flat from approximately 1853-54 through 1855 or so (before going on to operate the inn at Upper Soda Springs). In the story of the famous "Battle of Castle Crags" (which took place in 1855), a young Joaquin Miller tells a dramatic tale of being seriously wounded, by having an arrow shot through his jaw and neck. Miller was taken to the Portuguese Flat inn operated by the McClouds to recuperate, and was nursed to health by Mary Campbell McCloud. == References == [http://www.dholmes.com/new-book.html History of Portuguese Settlement in the Sacramento Valley]; [http://www.notfrisco.com/calmem/miller/elk.html Reference by Joaquin Miller to Portuguese Flat]; [http://www.notfrisco.com/calmem/miller/chrono.html Joaquin Miller chronology mention of Castle Crags]; [http://www.hummm.net/joaquinmiller/program.html Joaquin Miller tended by Mary Campbell McCloud]]; [http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~shastaca/1885shasta.html Portuguese Flat deserted by 1885 Census]
