Kendall VanHook Bumpass (November 6, 1809–1885) was an early hunter, who, in 1865, stepped into a boiling spring and lost a leg, in what is now Lassen Volcanic National Park. The geothermal area was later named "Bumpass Hell".
Famous quotes containing the word kendall:
“It was always the work that was the gyroscope in my life. I don’t know who could have lived with me. As an architect you’re absolutely devoured. A woman’s cast in a lot of roles and a man isn’t. I couldn’t be an architect and be a wife and mother.”
—Eleanore Kendall Pettersen (b. 1916)
