| Landmark #212 | Plumas County | Visited: August 14, 2016 | Plaque? YES! 🙂 |
| What is it? | A small and unassuming plaque off the side of the road! |
| What makes it historical? | THE GUIDE SAYS: The legend, as told by the pioneers: “The lad was returning to Marysville from a trip to the mines, he, having packed a trainload of provisions to the mines, was returning with gold dust. He was murdered and robbed. Later a comrade carved his name, age, etc., on a tree. P. Linthiouh, died September, 1852, age 19.”
OTHER TIDBITS: Sadly, all that anyone really knows about Mr. Linthiouh is that he died here. The name may have been misspelled (Linthicum?), but no one knows for sure who he was, just that he died here, or near here. Very mysterious! |
