At this time the eastern boundary of the county was extended beyond the Sacramento River to Butte Creek and ended a few miles north of Butte City. In , the county was again divided and Glenn County was formed, the latter being named after its more illustrious citizen, Dr.
Hugh Glenn, the world's greatest wheat producer. John Bidwell is one of the first white men who has recorded as being in the county as early as He says he saw at least ten thousand Indians here at that time.
IN Will S. Green's History, he wrote: "while there were many small tribes of Indians living in Colusa County, there were three belts, as it were, of them, the tribes in each having more or less intercourse with each other, and being generally on friendly terms.
Those occupying either side of the river formed one, those occupying the foothills along Bear Valley and Stony Creek another, and those occupying the pine timber region of the mountains the third. Many of these tribes have died out entirely and their manes have passes entirely from man.
Many persons have supposed that each village was a tribe of itself, but most of these were the temporary residences of families of the same tribe, and while all acknowledged the authority of the principle chief, the government of the villages were largely patriarchal. One of these tribes was the Colus Tribe, 'Co'-lus' was not the exact pronunciation as the Indians gave it. We were told many years ago by very intelligent Indians that this work originally meant 'scratch' and that the Indians were so named because the young squaws scratched the faces of their bridegrooms after the marriage ceremony.
All Indian names had a significance once and the pronunciation of the word meaning 'scratch' was probably gradually changed as much happen with all unwritten languages. The principle foods of the Indians were grass seeds, acorns and fish. Sometimes they even killed an antelope, a deer, or other game, but game usually required special work so the Indians did no have fresh mean often. The squaws did all the work and even had to carry the fish caught by the braves. The squaws were responsible for feeding their children and husbands.
They made water-tight baskets and gathered their food. The acorns were dried and pounded in stone mortars in to very fine flour. The bitterness was removed from the flour by a special process invented by the squaws. The flour was then made into a sort of soup.
The grizzly bears were the most important animals at the time Bidwell came in There were many of them, the reason being no other animals could match them in fighting power and the Indians did not have the weapons or the courage to kill them. According to General Bidwell, "The grizzly bear was an hourly sight. In the vicinity of the streams, it is not uncommon to see thirty or forty in a day. In the spring of the year the bears lived on clover which grew luxuriantly on the plains especially in the little depressions.
The bears retreated to the thick brush and timber along the river and finally to the mountains. Today, they no longer exist in this area. Green wrote, "It seems proper that a chapter on the early settlement of the county should be commenced with the following letter from General John Bidwell, published in the Colusa Sunday of January 6, 'I first saw that a portion of Colusa County lying west of the Sacramento River, in , at which time I passed thought it's entire length.
It did no contain a white inhabitant. No one had ever thought them of obtaining a grant of land there. No Mexican had ever lived there, and I have some doubts if one had ever been there. The territory comprising the present County of Colusa so far as settlement, or the least sign of civilization was concerned, was new as when Columbus discovered America.
Williams, at what is now the Boggs place, south of Princeton; the next, Charles B. Sterling, William's successor in the employ of Larkin; the next, Swift and Sears, on the south side of Stony Creek, and some twelve or fifteen miles from the Sacramento River.
