Bulletin No. 11 – Petroglyphs

One of many glyphs to be seen along Upper Smoke Creek.

In the 1960s, the newly organized Lassen County Historical Society published historical bulletins. In 1964, the Society released Petroglyphs of North Eastern California and Nevada by Tom Eilers. What Eilers ascertained like others, these petroglyph sites have one item in common-they were above the Lake Lahontan shoreline.

It is interesting that sixty years later when Eilers wrote his observations we still do not know a lot about them. Years later, Tom shared with me photographs he took of glyphs back then. Hopefully, after I am relocated and settled in, I scan share and post them.

P.S. – Still in search of a  home.
