From the Office of Nevada State Prison, January 20th, 1871. Issued for $55 to Samuel Hyatt for 11 days service (at $5 a day) as deputy warden. Signed by Frank Denver, warden (and lieutenant governor). 5 x 7.5" Folds. The Nevada State Prison was established in 1862 by the Nevada Territorial Legislature at the site of the Warm Springs Hotel, located east of Carson City in Nevada Territory. The legislature had been leasing the hotel from Abraham Curry and using the prison quarry to provide stone material for the Nevada State Capitol. In 1864, the territorial legislature acquired the hotel along with 20 acres of land. On Sept. 17, 1871--just 9 months after this receipt was issued--Frank Denver was seriously injured in a prison break involving 27 inmates. In 1872, Denver refused to give up his post to Pressly C. Hyman, who had been appointed the new warden under legislation that repealed that responsibility from the lieutenant governor. The situation escalated so that Governor Lewis R. Bradley had to send in troops in March 1873 to force Denver to surrender, which he did. Date: 1871 City: Carson City State: Nevada HWAC# 77502
