C-SPAN Cities Tour - Carson City: Nevada Mining and the Comstock Lode
Рет қаралды 26,720
Күн бұрынVisit the discovery site that sparked Nevada's gold and silver rush, known as the Comstock Lode. See the area around Virginia City and Gold Hill, where mining boomed after 1859 -- including the site where prospectors first found gold in the area and later mined for silver. View the remnants of one of the mines involved in one of the state's deadliest mining disasters, a fire which killed at least 35 miners.

Good video but forgot the history of American Flatts mill opening in 1920 as a revamp to the Comstock.

between this particular Comstock and the “other Buffalo Bill” William Comstock, i jokingly say that my family tradition is “coming in second place” - signed, someone who has a few famous Comstocks in his family tree on distant branches
