An authentic account of the discovery, history, and working of the world-renowned Comstock lode of Nevada, including the present condition of the various mines situated thereon, sketches of the most prominent men interested in them, incidents and adventures connected with mining, the Indians, and the country; amusing stories, experiences, anecdotes, etc., etc., and a full exposition of the production of pure silver. Profusely Illustrated. Sold by Subscription Only! DeQuille worked at the Territorial Enterprise at the same time as Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens). Many of their contemporaries thought that DeQuille was the better writer! This book needs to be rebound! Fittingly enough it is dedicated to John Mackay and comes from the Fulton Collection. Fulton was a good friend of the Mackay family. (Fulton Collection)
