Book Description

Excerpt from The Discovery of Humboldt Bay, California Bay. To the north of Red Bluff there is a comparatively broad, low valley, extending eastward and northeastward from the low shores of the upper area of the bay. Through this valley ow Little River and Mad River; which latter in its passage to the ocean skirts the northern reach of the low, marshy arm of the upper bay, and at one time emptied into Humboldt Bay, where it now has connection therewith by Mad River slough. To the north of Mad River, and be hind Trinidad Head and the rough shore to Rocky Point, the mountains rise to 3010 feet (trinity) at seven and a half miles, and to 4050 feet (hoopah) at sixteen miles from the sea. These are some of the prominent physical features as we see them today. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
