True Tales of Virginia City And the Comstock With Recipes

Virginia City's history is more than facts and statistics found in dusty old tomes stacked away in libraries big and small. This history is also found in the stories of the people who chose to spend their lives or part of them, anyway, here on the hill in Virginia City; it's what gives this place its distinct, color and charm. The tales included in this book tell the story of Virginia City's history through the lives, and sometimes deaths, of the people who came to Sun Mountain (Mt. Davidson, ) and helped to build a town. Not just those well-known to the history buff, like John Mackay, Julia Bulette and Mark Twain, but lesser known people like Jessie Lester, Jabez Spencer, Mit Raymond and Rattlesnake Dick Darling. Their time here on the hill has added to Virginia City's rich history.
