Title: The best of Virginia City and the Comstock

Author: L. J. Ettinger
Year: 2000
Format: 64 pages

"Over the years, Virginia City and the Comstock Lode have been the subject of considerable study. In this work, Len Ettinger contributes to our understanding of the era, chronicling in a popular vein the development of the mines, the manner in which they were financed, and the personalities involved. The saga of the Sutro Tunnel, the connection of the Virginia and Truckee Railroad with the history of the Lode and the historic fire of October 26, 1875 are also chronicled. For those seeking a brief guide to the Comstock supplemented by maps, photos and anecdotal accounts of life as it was during the boom years, this book is the best to come off the presses in recent years."
—Phillip I. Earl (Nevada Historical Society)
