It is derived from its location on a high vertical bank at the bend of the Sacramento River. It seems that Red Bluff was celebrated as a gold rush town even though there was no mining camp located here. In 1843 Lassen and two fellow pioneers were in Red Bluff tracking down horse thieves. Lassen was so impressed by the land that he sought and received from the Mexi- can Government a grant of 25,000 acres a few miles south of where the city now stands. In early 1847, he laid out a townsite and named it Benton City in honor of Senator Thomas H. Benton on Missouri. He then journeyed to Missouri to induce settlers to come out and also to obtain a char- ter for a Masonic Lodge in his set- tlement. This colonization plan of Lassen's was short lived and the original Masonic Charter was transferred to Shasta County. Lassen's publicity of the area did bring attention to the area and the town became known as Red Bluff. It is said that the streets continual- ly thronged with pack trains oper- ating from as far away as Oregon, Nevada and Idaho. Red Bluff achieved commercial importance because for more than half a century it was the head of navigation on the Sacramento River. Steamers made regular trips between San Francisco and Red Bluff and became an almost daily occurrence. Where did I come across these bits of histo- ry? I was perusing a 1965 edition of the Red Bluff California Con Survey Directory. I jogged down memory lane in the 49- year old book. 1965, the year when television was only transmitted from Chico and Redding. The year when Joe's Richfield Service, Thompson's Western Auto, Novell and Hunter Co. Inc, and Hoffi- nan Tire Service were businesses located on Main Street The directory was very infor- mative especially the resident directory portion. Residents were not only listed by address but also by profession. Note was made of each person's work next to their name, ''pipe-fitter." If the person worked outside of the home a one or two word description was given. Women who kept the home fires burning and did not work out- side the home had a simple "H" or a circled "H" next tot their names. I am not sure what the circled "H" signified. My name had a circled "H" and I had to assume that they thought I might have done some- thing besides just homemaking. It seemed that most of the working women were listed as clerks, nurs- es and teachers. What a wealth of history is between the pages of a 1965 direc- tory. As I wandered through, I was stirred to recall many people and events that have crossed my path during those almost 50 years. It was reassuring to know that my brain had stored more information than I thought. There was the real- ization that information could still be brought up by a little clue here and there. The real message to me in the directory was that we make histo- ry every day whether we are aware of it or not. We may say that histo- ry is boring, not so, the clue to not being boring is when it is connect- ed with us personally. Those pho- tos we collect in our photo albums are history. They may not be so interesting to those who have no connection to them. To many of us they give pictorial historic insight into Ihe people and events that we deem important to us. They jog our memories and feed our spirits. They record our lives for future generations that just might be interested. In this time of instant technolo- gy we can sometimes become bogged down, we might do well to explore some of our personal his- tory. In the words of James Whit- comb RiIey from his poem, "The Days Gone By" "Oh the days gone by! O the days gone by! The sim- ple soul-reposing, glad belief in everything — When life was like a story holding neither sob nor sigh, In the golden olden glory of the days gone by.
