Bonanza times photos of the Comstock Lode by Carlton Watkins

of
The Bonanza King: John Mackay and the Battle over the Greatest Riches in the American West:
"The post-Civil War period saw some of the most explosive economic growth in US history. In school, Americans are taught about Rockefeller, Morgan, Carnegie and many other barons of the late 19th century. John Mackay, however, is unheard of. After rea"

“There were many words that you could not stand to hear and finally only the names of places had dignity. Certain numbers were the same way and certain dates and these with the names of the places were all you could say and have them mean anything.
