There is a little waterfall right on the edge of Camp McCall that is apporpially named Little Waterfall. Not many historians will know this, but there was a great battle that took place there. It is called the battle of Little Waterfall, and there is one hero that stands out.
First I must say that, that waterfall has not always been there. It was just a regular creek and it was one McCall indian's favorite place to sit and wittle on his sticks. His name was Little Wittle. He would sit there almost day and night wittling.
He did this for years. It was very up around that area but out side of the McCall idian's land the Revaltionary War was happening. As the war went on the battles were getting closer to the camp. The indians were a nuetral party in the war, but the British cought wind that they were aiding the Americans. So the British planned an attack on the McCall Tribe.
They decided to sneak all the way up there through the creek. the very creek Little Wittle liked the wittle at. He saw them coming from a distance and he knew they were coming to attack camp. He knew there was not enough time to run and tell the others of the British so he decided to stay and fight.
Little Wittle was not warrior, but he had this grand idea. there was a big rock that sat on the side of the hill next to the creek. So he decided to wittle an entire tree so it would hit the rock, block the British path and it would be loud enough for the warriors to hear it and come running.
So he got to work. He worked as fast as he could and did not stop. When the British got within a hundred yards Little Wittle finished wittling the tree and and it fell hitting the rock and the rock tumbled and landed right in the way of the British stopping them dead in their tracks. And like Little Wittle planned the noise was so great that the warriors of the McCall Indians came down to the creek and defeated the British and that is ultimately the way the Americans won the war.
In conclusion the rock that stopped the British from advancing also stopped the water and that is where the waterfall came from.
