apart from study, thielsen and the rest of the crater lake area features heavily into 19th- and early 20th-century exploration. in 1853, miners from yreka first described crater lake; one called it "the bluest water he had ever seen", another "deep blue lake." the first published description was written by chauncy nye for the "jacksonville sentinel" in 1862. nye recalled an expedition of gold prospectors where they passed a lake of a deep blue color. native americans lived in the area and grew irritable towards new settlers in the area. in 1865, fort klamath was built as a protective sanctuary. a wagon road was built to connect the rogue valley to the building. in late 1865, two hunters ventured upon the lake; more explorers followed. by then, the lake became famous for its distinctive color, and crowds flocked to see it. the first non-native american to stand on the shore of crater lake was sergeant orsen stearns, who climbed down into the caldera. a friend, captain f.b. sprague, gave it the name "lake majesty." tourism continued until may 22, 1902; on that day, theodore roosevelt designated the lake and surrounding area a national park.
