If I ever get time to do the research properly, I plan on creating a Nataqua / Lassen County web site. You might be amused to know that Susanville (now Ca.) was named after my Xth cousin, Isaac Roop's daughter (if I recall correctly). Take care and thanks again.Hulleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04936914788689260243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32781314.post-71348556705923056652010-01-08T19:16:31.666-06:002010-01-08T19:16:31.666-06:00Cool article, I especially appreciate the part abo...Cool article, I especially appreciate the part about Nataqua. I grew up in Lassen though now live in alaska. Those flatlanders from the south havn't yet wearied of screwing us over: constantly stealing with our water, forcing their ignorant politically motivated mandates on us, dumping their trash on us, wreaking havoc on our economy, not allowing us to manage our own resources, the list goes on and on. I guess they are still trying to compensate huh? I heard of a recent attempt to split off from California(of several as I understand) was in the late nineties if I remember correctly. My Friend's grandfather,now retired, was a prominent member of the standish-buntingville community and a well respected hay farmer. He was a key leader in the attempt. It would have been good, but alas, those who used underhanded sleezerey won that round.<br />-nathaniel<br />nathanileorix@yahoo.com<br />sorry no screen name, I'm not too proficient with computers and stumbled onto this site while looking for history.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32781314.post-57329767223120840612008-08-26T16:06:00.000-05:002008-08-26T16:06:00.000-05:00Thank you so much for your comment!

Hopefully I'll end up with a real Nataqua tattoo. Thanks again for commenting.

There is, indeed, a flag and seal from that time, to be found in the Nevada gazetteer of the 1960's. If memory serves, it figured a pick and shovel in the canton. You might field a question to Guy Rocha or other such Nevadan historians on the subject.<BR/><BR/>It will warm you to know that your Uncle Roop is still revered by Nevadans as our first governor. Despite the Californians' locating a prison at Susanville, the area is still very much alive with succession grumbles and warm affinities to Nothern Nevada. His portrait hangs among others in Carson City. <BR/><BR/>Now, if only we can shuck the lead at the south end of the state...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32781314.post-71839041170495417152007-02-03T15:39:00.000-06:002007-02-03T15:39:00.000-06:00Thanks lots, Jen!

I rarely have flashes of insight (which you know since you've been stopping by for a while) but I really feel strongly that you should sign up for nobility. Seriously. Good things will follow. At worst, like I said it's a good story for when you get together with those other people whose pictures you posted in your blog a while back.<br /><br />Mosilager, I imagine you're referring to the Nataquans since I posted the other two flags, and yeah, I wonder too. I'm sort of stumped on where to go from here to find out, other than trekking to Lassen County CA and burrowing into the archives. I might just end up making one up myself. I'll have to enlist the help of someone who studied graphic design in college and is now working in a dead-end job and cursing their own stupidity, but they're a dime a dozen.<br /><br />Good thing more of you didn't comment or this would have turned into Remembrance of Things Past.Hulleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04936914788689260243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32781314.post-37974416464636007662007-02-01T17:42:00.000-06:002007-02-01T17:42:00.000-06:00That's hilarious!

In fact, when I was around 12 years old I had a skater haircut where my hair was really long and it was shaved on the sides so that I could pull it up in a pony tail. I was at some department store walking into the changing room and the ancient woman said "Excuse me honey, the girl's room is that way." I cut my hair the next day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32781314.post-79774382256224399372007-01-31T22:45:00.000-06:002007-01-31T22:45:00.000-06:00Hi Hulles, I gotta stand up for my friend Rett.

I didn't know of either Ladonia or Sealand...though at first I paused thinking that you'd intended to write Zealand, which is the Danish island on which the city of Copenhagen can be found. Copenhagen has, as you perhaps know, a peculiar, somewhat independent free-state within it called Christiania which was found in the early 1970s essentially by squatters who refused to leave a derelict military compound. Today it has less than 1000 residents, too much of a pot-tourist draw (which pisses off the people in Christiania), and some really expensive apartments.<br /><br />Last time I was in Copenhagen that neighborhood was nursing the wounds of losing a 200-year-old structure on the water to fire. I took a boat tour past the ruins.<br /><br />It's a beautiful place, that Copenhagen.<br />-cKcKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05361765660743618975noreply@blogger.com
