Shasta County (Images of America)
 

Product Description:
Picturesque Shasta County, located at the northern end of California's Sacramento Valley, is known for its colorful history, abundant natural beauty, and unlimited recreational opportunities.

First home to native tribes such as the Wintu and Yana, Shasta County was officially established in 1850, and fur trappers, cattle ranchers, and miners, lumber mills, copper smelters, and railroads soon made their indelible mark on the landscape.

The region's story continued to unfold throughout the 20th century as its many lakes, parks, rivers, and the snow-capped peak of Mt. Shasta glistening in the distance welcomed visitors and enticed many to make Shasta County home.

About the Authors
In this new volume, the Shasta Historical Society has drawn on its extensive archive of vintage photographs to create an entertaining and educational tribute to the men and women, the places and events that have shaped Shasta County.

Striking images from throughout the county showcase local businesses, schools, churches, landmarks, and celebrations, capturing the unique spirit of the area's residents as well as the magnificent land on which they live.
