Virginia City,NV - Storey County - 1971 - Life and Times of the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise
Edited and with an introduction by Oscar Lewis. Published by Lewis Osborne: Ashland, 1971. Hardcover, 53 pages with white paper dust-jacket. On January 16, 1893, the Territorial Enterprise, a newspaper out of Virginia City, suspended publication. In his introduction, Lewis writes that the Enterprise "had been the most widely read and highly respected mining journal ever published in the West." It was also noted that "on the morning of January 24 - only eight days after the Enterprise suspended - one of its San Francisco counterparts, the Examiner, published five tributes to the paper and to its distinguished staff. It is these, plus a sixth which appeared several weeks later, that are reprinted here." A 1" tear on the front top edge and 1 1/2" tear on the back top edge of the dust-cover, otherwise very fine.
