Lassens Butte, Sacramento Valley', 1872. Covered wagon, mountains, and 'broken and fragmentary huts that Indians have left', Northern California, USA. 'When the traveller gets to the Lassens Buttes, he has reached the first mountains which are capped by perpetual snows... the great cone of the extinct volcano is a well-known landmark...It remains in sight for days after it has been left behind'. Lassen Peak, a volcano, was named after a Danish blacksmith named Peter Lassen, who settled in Northern California in the 1830s.
