You are looking at a picture of Annie Ingle, a Native American Wintu bronc-busting woman in the 20th century. Annie is just one of the many interesting and inspiring stories in our new book. Thanks to a grant funded by the Women's Fund in Shasta County, we have published the new book, "Empowered Women of Shasta County".
While Shasta Lake Heritage & Historical Society took the lead on publishing the book, it was a collaborative effort by and for all the local societies and museums in Shasta County to raise awareness of their existence and foster volunteerism.
It is a great read while supporting the endeavors of local societies that preserve history for future generations, as without them, valuable research will be lost...
