1857 Butte Features Folklore Mount Shasta Subject Lore
EDITORS COMMENTS
Mount Shasta, a majestic and awe-inspiring peak located in Siskiyou County, California, USA, has been a subject of fascination and reverence for countless generations. This breathtaking image, captured in 1857, showcases the mountain in all its glory, with Shasta Butte at its base and the expansive Shasta Valley spread out below. The mountain, a dormant stratovolcano, rises to a height of 14,179 feet (4,322 meters), making it one of the highest peaks in the Cascade Range. Mount Shasta holds deep significance in the cultural histories of the indigenous peoples of the region, including the Wintu, Shasta, and Modoc tribes. According to their folklore, Mount Shasta is the home of the Great Spirit and a gateway to the afterlife. The mountain's mystical qualities have also made it a popular subject in modern New Age lore, drawing spiritual seekers from around the world. The mountain's unique geological features, including its snow-capped summit, glaciers, and hot springs, have long intrigued explorers and scientists. The first European settlers arrived in the area in the mid-19th century, bringing with them a new perspective on the mountain. This photograph, taken in 1857, is a testament to the enduring allure of Mount Shasta and its ability to captivate the imaginations of people from all walks of life.
