 Sutter
Buttes Land of Histum Yani, is one of the most quoted books in our
region. In it she tells of the Buttes as they were becoming know
in the west. Gabriel Moraga, a Spaniard
trying to locate possible mission sites, was the first European to see
the Buttes, in 1806. Another Spaniard, Luis Arguello, led an expedition
in 1817 to explore Northern California by water.
He called the Buttes:Los Pichachos, or the peaks. He also named the Feather River El Rio
del las Plumas because he saw many feathers of wildfowl floating on the
water. Other names for the Buttes were Marysville Buttes, Sacramento
Buttes, and Los Tres Picos. They were finally named the Sutter Buttes
in 1949. Until recently, all of the Buttes area was private land. In
2003, State Parks acquired 1,785 acres of the Buttes, including a
section called Peace Valley.

Profusely illustrated (black & white)
 "We are trained to perceive the surrounding world as
three-dimensional. The fourth dimension is not a trick. In the same way
that we don’t notice the air we are breathing, we do not notice a lot
of things that are around us. One of them is time. We do live in four-
(or even more) dimensional reality. Usually we just don’t pay attention
to this. The first step to broadening our vision is to learn and to
develop features that allow us to experience the world as
four-dimensional."
