Book Title: Illustrated History Of Plumas, Lassen & Sierra Counties

ELYSIAN VALLEY.

   This is a small valley lying just west of Janesville. In the summer of 1856
Daney H. Keatley and L. N. Breed settled in the valley, and because of its
beautiful appearance bestowed the name Elysian upon it. It is about two and
one-half miles long, and three-quarters of a mile in width, hemmed in on one
side by the pine-clad mountains, and on the others by the lower foot-hills. An
abundance of water is furnished in all seasons by the mountain springs, fed by
the snows on the summit. The valley is now owned and cultivated by Richard D.
Bass, an old Lassen county pioneer, and Silas and H. H. McMurphy.
