Travelling leisurely in glorious weather through the garden-girt towns and smiling villages of the "Rouge-River" Valley, perhaps the most picturesque and fertile in the world, a day was passed at shasta Springs, the summer resort of fashionable Californians, where the sun-baked traveller may rest awhile in a little oasis of coolness and gaiety, cascades and flowers, set in a desert of dark pines.
"From Paris to New York by Land"
Harry de Windt
Ten condors with unsated maws, Four lesser birds of prey, An eagle with undaunted eye From shasta, far away; A score of birds from many seas, All purged of grime and blood, Keep truckling pace the fete to grace,- Mars' fettered vulture brood.

Charles Hamilton Musgrove
Regarding the volcanoes of the United States, Mount shasta is one of the most interesting of them.
