Today we stumbled upon the majestic Space Needle, the same Space Needle that was discovered by the Pioneers in the late 1700s . This needle was actually created by a Indian candle maker in 1693 by the name of William Bear Claw. He and his family made candles out of hardened steel and animal remains. One day William was distracted by a phone call from his mother and did not realize that he was creating a giant candle and also just talking into a shell. Well he created history that day. It is the largest candle in America. When the first pioneers discovered the needle they thought that is was just a waste of Space and tried to light it. To there amazement the candle did not burn out. All that was ignited that night was the pioneers hearts. A burning love and passion for the needle flamed in the hearts of the pioneers. So instead they built a monument of the candle maker near the base of the the needle. Which was later used as inspiration for the Statue of Liberty.
