A History of the Comstock Silver Lode & Mines, Nevada and the Great Basin Regions; Lake Tahoe and the High Sierras.
Virginia, Nev. F. Boegle, 1889. Soft cover. An early tourist's guide to Nevada, with a focus on the Comstock Mines but expanding to cover the rest of the state. From the introduction: "The central idea in the preparation of this little book has been to give, as concisely as possible, such information in regard to the silver mines of the Comstock as the visiting tourist is likely to require. In doing this it was thought best to begin by briefly introducing the whole State of Nevada." Faded blue paper wraps, with creasing to corners and loss to the top and bottom of the spine. Slight toning throughout, with a small loss to the upper margin of one leaf (p.60), not effecting the text. Pages otherwise clean and unmarked. x, 11-158pp. 7x5" Good. Item #2024-Q271
