Historic postcard eruption image.
On Memorial Day, May 30, 1914 Lassen Peak, which had been presumed extinct, suddenly came to life in a series of explosive eruptions. News of the eruptions, including the famous 6 photo series by Benjamin F. Loomis, excited a nationwide interest in the volcano that sparked efforts to establish a national park. Although larger eruptions would follow later summer and the next, Loomis’s photos became essential support in the establishment of Lassen Volcanic National Park on August 9, 1916.
