Lost Camp Station, Shasta County, California
zhlédnutí 168Před rokem
Lost Camp Station was a place of food, water, and rest during the late 1800s and early 1900s. Whether you were a rancher taking livestock for summer grazing, a freighter hauling goods, or an emigrant heading west, the beautiful meadow made for a good stopping place before continuing to the Sacramento Valley, traveling north to Yreka, or going eastward to Nevada.

Reading Adobe, Shasta County, California
zhlédnutí 195Před rokem
The Reading Adobe was the first house owned by Major Pierson B. Reading in Shasta County. Built in 1847, the structure was small compared to a two-story house that came seven years later. But it was from this humble abode that Major Reading built his farm and ranch, began many ventures, and managed his 26,000-acre piece of land that stretched from modern-day Cottonwood to Redding. The historica...
Kennett, Shasta County, California
zhlédnutí 1,6KPřed rokem
Kennett began, quickly grew, and then largely died away because of the boom-and-bust nature of Shasta County’s mining industry. Through its history, we catch a glimpse of what life was like in a large Northern California mining town before and after the turn of the 20th century. Video by Jon Jefferson, Content Developer, Shasta Historical Society, February 2023.

The Golden Eagle Hotel was a landmark business for half of Redding’s history. Through its 75 years, the hotel served a lot of people and hosted many social organizations and events. As this video is posted, new construction is taking place and a new era is coming to the historical site at the southeast corner of California and Yuba Streets where the Golden Eagle Hotel once stood.

Little Hat Creek Hill, Shasta County, California
zhlédnutí 296Před rokem
Little Hat Creek Hill was an obstacle that travelers of the late 1800s had to navigate. Today, our modern highway carves its route around the base of the hill. But back then, William H. Nobles chose this location as part of his shorter, more direct route into the Sacramento Valley. Visiting this historical site certainly gives us an appreciation for the challenges of 19th century transportation...
Stardust Motel, Redding, Shasta County, California

Since the Stardust Motel opened around 1963, it has been an excellent representative of the traditional roadside motel. Through its name, amenities, location on a major thoroughfare, signs that beckoned to travelers, name, the Stardust captures an experience that is truly American. If you enjoy this video, we invite you to learn more about this and other lodging places and how they fit within t...
Sacramento Valley & Eastern Railroad, Shasta County, California

The Sacramento Valley & Eastern Railroad was one of the small, private companies that built and operated rail lines important to mining operations in Shasta County in the late 1800s and early 1900s. It connected area mines, smelters, and settlements to one another and to the main Southern Pacific rail line that ran to Sacramento and San Francisco in the south and Oregon in the north.

Summit Lake & Summit Juniper, Shasta County, California
zhlédnutí 101Před rokem
Although both blended into the landscape, Summit Lake played a small historical role and the Summit Juniper stood out in a botanical sense (until it was destroyed by the 2021 Dixie Fire). For those who never saw the tree, it was about 525 years old and larger than 51 feet tall, 23 feet 5 inches in circumference, and 7 feet 7 inches in diameter. We inserted a photo of it as a thumbnail for this ...

Through the Litsch Store, we can gain insight into commerce in the town of Shasta and the surrounding area while learning about a particular pioneer family and business. If you choose to visit the store in-person, make sure you give yourself enough time to see the rest of the Shasta State Historic Park as well. In that way, you can learn the role of the Litsch Store’s within the town’s broader ...
Empire Hotel, Redding, Shasta County, California
zhlédnutí 94Před rokem
The Empire Hotel was an excellent example of the smaller hotel common to the American West during the late 1800s to the mid-1900s. Its history is interesting from several perspectives-from its strategic location to its building materials to its role serving the working class. It’s also a historical site where the building still exists, something that becomes rarer as time passes. Video by Jon J...

The Cascade Theatre has made an indelible impact on regional history. Beginning almost 90 years ago, its architecture and design have not only appealed to the eye but have contributed to the overall entertainment experience.

Manzanita lake is way to close during an eruption!
Should have a Narrator telling us about this Marvel. Ya' kno some old guy with a twang in his voice, so he sounds like he was telling the story back in the day.....🤣🤣🤠💛👍
Had no idea this existed, my family has lived in the Shasta County region for over 100 years, there's been news article clippings and postcards my ancestors saved as a momento of what they witnessed. So to see this in film is amazing!
I was fortunate enough to go see Mount St. Helens during the 25th anniversary of the 1980 eruption, but the closest I ever got to Lassen Peak was Crater Lake in southern Oregon. So close and yet so far…
It’s amazing that there’s such good footage of this eruption
Another history hyjacking freemason. They all suck baal sack. How'd redding turn out?
You can be both ,just saying
Amazing footage.
Wow
And now we se it today less that side!
Could you imagine the boulders raining down everywhere around you!!
I climbed to the top of Mt. Lassen (twice!) but not once did i ever try to descend into the crater...Something about falling though the bottom, i guess...
That is absolutely awesome
Finally going to see the area in late September.
As a kid growing up in Redding in the 70's, I fondly remember Judge Eaton speaking at our Boy Scout events. Such a wealth of memories and knowledge.
No audio in this video? Is it suppose to have it?
Audio silent for any one else?
Amazing
There isn’t even any color. Destroy this film.
Could they ever built it today? With all the environmental concerns and no one wants to work
however, if those same people could be able to replace everyone with a machine they would.
@@robbiem4624 Can you blame them? Machines dont complain, call in sick, file frivolous lawsuits, get tired, stay home and collect government handouts, etc etc etc ...
@@steves659 go pray to your god Trump while he calls your town a shit hole. Right wing states get more welfare.
Vulcan's Face looks like an Airedale Terrier.
This is incredible. It amazes me how this footage was preserved to one day show the world what this eruption looked like.
Good UFO footage too!
Just moved out of lassen county. It was nice up there.
My grandfather's brother worked concrete on the dam. For at least the 60's, 70's and 80's from my own knowledge, he lived about a half mile south of the dam on Lake Blvd.
What was is name?
This is some incredible footage. Just WOW. Whoever shot this, and whoever preserved it for over 100 years, God bless them.
Justin J Hammer of Red Bluff.
My brother got married in the house by the judge i can't remember what year that was
Awesome video. My grandfather used to go to the Pitt River when he was in the Boy Scouts before the dam was built. I have spent every summer of my life on that lake and love the history.
Wonderfully constructed video. Missing is deconstruction of Head Tower to the level it is now days. Remarkable to see the lack of vegetation due to copper from mining. Area sure 'greened up' over the years. And the visitors center and park came to be later. All those men had something to be so proud of. It took some ingenuitive minds and mighty muscles!! And truly its like a living thing when you stand on Shasta Dam when the drums are all open and you feel the moisture in the air, feel the vibration of the water rushing thru and below, and hear the thunderous sounds of it all.
I think it was the copper, rather than lead, that kept the vegetation sparse then.
I wonder how long it would of taken with modern equipment
25 years
@@steveholley9508 yeah im sure
Looks like hard work start to finish, something to be proud of.
Incredible film!
This is awesome! 👍
I don't know where you found this, but I couldn't stop watching this. OK I was looking for my Dad, He was one of the workers there. He also worked on the Oroville lake dam. This is a cool old video.
@JohnnyD RC it's amazing what this generation was able to pull off. I wonder how many of the tools, carts and other items used for this project were invented just for this job. In one scene the dump truck didn't even have a cab on it. Contrast that to today's monster machines that have AC and heat. Another facet of this project is they built it while WWII was raging on. I wonder if the nearby residents, if there were any, thought the Germans were attacking every time dynamite was used?
@@doobielawson702 I have no idea how they did it, I did have home videos on Oroville Dam being built, when my dad worked on that Dam. But was lost after he past away.
0.03 ❤❤❤❤❤
😍
Miss him. RIP Judge Eaton.
We need more dams.
Very interesting, especially the head tower and tail towers that allowed quick handling of the concrete. I saw the dam years ago but had no idea about the head tower until the current drought exposed its base.
My Grandfather (Robert DiLullo) took the first steam shovel bucket from the diversion dam that started the project. He worked throughout the project. Later became the first roads commissioner of Shasta County. Even later became the Shasta Fairgrounds manager before retiring.
10:44 - The remains of the headtower can be seen in this 2014 video ==> czcams.com/video/OxzQ8ExwxdA/video.html
My Great Grandpa was a pipe fitter. He might be the man in the Video
Finally, we can comment... first of all turn comments on. Second of all this was a great video.
I sure miss him! Rest In Peace, Judge Eaton. 💛
There needs to be an updated version of this video with the present day staff. Love Jeremy and Jay tho.
Love this! Classic Eaton!
I wonder when it will erupt again?
Love this!
Lessen peak ahh yes
I live like 30 minutes away from this beast as the crow fly's.. our yard is covered with rock from her.. had a dream last night of an eruption.. I have no doubt its a premonition .
Oh, what a great document of the times. I'm excited . Interesting to see the largest lava dome in the world erupting.
