Not just one, but two copies including a special double sheet publication from one of the most notorious mining town in the West! Panamint City was born in the early 1870s after 3 bandits discovered silver in Surprise Canyon. Practically overnight the town grew to a population of 2,000 and it had hotels, restaurants, a red light district and newspaper. Yet, as soon as the boom began, it ended within 3 years. This lot contains 2 copies of the Panamint News. 1) March 6, 1875 Vol. 1, No. 40. 2) Special double sheet, March 23 1875, Vol. 1 No. 47. There is some wear, but given the town’s sort history, it makes these items rare treasures from America’s wild history. -61577
