THE DAILY STATE REGISTER, Carson City, Nevada, March 14, 1871

* Wild Old West
* Rare publication


Situated just east of Lake Tahoe at the western "elbow" of the state, this issue from its heyday during the mining era has various news, ads and notices on the front page, with much news on page 2.
Carson City is named for the famed mountain man Kit Carson & is about 30 miles south of Reno. It originated as a stopover for California bound emigrants, but developed into a city with the Comstock Lode, a silver strike in the mountains to the northeast. The city has served as the capital of Nevada since statehood in 1864.
Four pages, small folio size, never bound nor trimmed, very nice condition.
