·
RENO EVENING GAZETTE, Nevada, March 20, 1879 An early issue from this famous gambling city in Northern Nevada near Lake Tahoe.
Gold was discovered in nearby Virginia City in 1850 and a modest mining community developed, but the discovery of silver in 1859 at the Comstock Lode led to a mining rush, and thousands of emigrants left their homes bound for the West, hoping to find a fortune.
Various news of the day and a wealth of fine ads.
Four pages, never bound nor trimmed, very nice condition.
