Welcome to Exploring Shasta County history... With this blog, I am bringing to life the stories of the early day pioneers and some of the oft-forgotten history of a bygone era in Shasta County, California. I'll also focus on important events after the turn of the 20th century. I would like to reflect upon current historical sites of the modern age as well. This is copyrighted by Jeremy M. Tuggle.
