Large archive of Rickey Material. Includes Rickey Land and Cattle Company and Kirman & Rickey. Sixty items. All addressed to the State Bank & Trust of Carson City, Nevada. This material is for their general merchandise store in Topaz. Thomas Brinley Rickey was a rancher and landholder in the late 19th century. At one point he owned nearly all of the Antelope Valley, straddling the border of Nevada and California, as well as other scattered holdings further to the south. He was instrumental in the effort to reroute the Walker River and create Topaz Lake. He also got into banking later in his career, founding the Nevada State Bank and Trust Company. His banks failed during a financial panic in 1907, and much of his land had to be sold. He is probably best known today for selling the land that the Nevada Governor's Mansion sits on to the state for $10. [carsonpedia] Letters mention paying (ie Frank Juarez of Bodie), but mostly just banking transactions. (Potter Collection) Date: 1887-1906 Location: Topaz, Mono County, California HWAC# 58119
