From the Sacramento Daily Union, June 1, 1863:
It is proposed to drop the name Bigler from the lake among the Sierras and adopt the Indian name of Tahoe. Good idea. Why the finest sheet of water in the mountains should be named after a fifth rate politician we have never been able to see. Let's call it Tahoe. Fine fishing in Tahoe. Who's going on a pleasant excursion this Summer to Tahoe? Poetical name: Indian name: proper name. Who don't say Tahoe?
