George F. Pollock, Acting Commissioner of the General Land Office, inform Secretary of the Interior Hitchcock that his office has received a letter from Senator George C. Perkins enclosing a petition from citizens of California for the creation of a national park encompassing “Lassen Peak and its surroundings.” Pollock describes the area around Lassen Peak and the various points of interest therein, concluding that “there are, without doubt, many points of scientific and scenic interest in the vicinity that should receive the fullest protection possible, which can only be afforded by the creation of a national park.” He suggests that the Forest Service be consulted in this matter, as nearly all points of interest are located in the Lassen Peak Forest Reserve.
