THE DAILY STATE REGISTER, Carson City, Nevada, Dec. 19, 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 trimmed margins, very nice condition.
Note: In 1871, Carson City, Nevada, experienced significant developments that shaped its historical and cultural landscape. The most notable event was the completion of the Nevada State Capitol building. Construction began on April 21, 1870, and was completed on May 1, 1871. Designed by architect Joseph Gosling in the Neoclassical Italianate style, the Capitol became the central hub for Nevada's government and remains a prominent landmark in Carson City today .
