'No one can say when or where the next eruption will occur. We can only say that it will.'
B.F. Loomis/National Park Service
For 3 million years, Mount Lassen has bubbled and boiled beneath Earth’s surface. Rarely does it erupt, but in late May 1914 — 27,000 years after its last explosion — the beast awoke. For a year, Lassen smoked off and on, a gentle warning of what was to come. On May 14, 1915, sightseers were shocked to see undulating crimson lava flowing down Lassen’s flanks for the first time. As soon as word spread, people from as far away as Susanville began packing into cars to drive closer to the action. Among the lookie-loos was Benjamin Franklin Loomis, a Manzanita Lake business owner and amateur photographer.
“When the first report was sounded here that Mount Lassen was on fire, people rang telephones and rushed out into the open to see the most wonderful sight of their lives,” the Record Searchlight wrote.
