MORE OF OUR ADVENTURE

VIRGINIA CITY IS ONE OF THE OLDEST ESTABLISHT CITIES IN NEVADA. IT WAS A MINING BOOMTOWN; IN FACT IT IS ONE OF THE MOST FAMOUS BOOMTOWNS IN THE OLD WEST. IT VIRTUALLY APPEARD OVER NIGHT AS A RESULT OF THE COMSTOCK LOAD SILVER STRIKE OF 1859. DURING ITS PEAK IT HAD A POPULATION OF ALMOST 30,000 RESIDENTS. WHEN THE COMSTOCK LOAD ENDED IN 1898, THE CITIES POPULATION DECLINED SHARPLY.

VIRGINIA CITY CAN BE CONSIDERED THE BIRTH PLACE OF MARK TWAIN. IT WAS THERE THAT SAMUEL CLEMENS THEN A REPORTER FOR A NEWS PAPER FIRST USED HIS FAMOUS PEN NAME IN 1863. HERE ARE MORE PICTURE OF THIS WONDERFUL HISTORIC TOWN.
