Never heard of it, well you are not alone. One would think that this descriptive landmark would be noteworthy. There is no recognized geographic name by the United States Board of Geographic Names or the United States Geological Survey. As a matter of fact, of all years that I had done extensive research of the region. only two people made an inquiry. Supposedly, Indians attacked an emigrant train while traveling on the Lassen Trail south of the present day Bieber and north of Little Valley.

In my book the Lassen County Almanac: An Historical Encyclopedia I included a reference to it. After all, I figure with the Almanac people could consult it, and me leave alone for other pursuits. In theory, it sounded good, but reality it did not happen. Anyhow, here is the entry:

Bloody Springs. – While no documentation of the event has been located, it is purported that the Indians massacred a group of emigrants on the Lassen Trail at this site.

While I could write a dissertation on this topic as to why there is no documentation of a non-event, I am not going to waste my time. However, a treasure hunter compiled a colorful glorified account. You can read it here.
