DEEP UNDER VIRGINIA CITY By: P. Zanner Friends, over a century has passed since Virginia City’s dramatic season of fame had its effect on a good share of the Pacific Coast populace. In the American mind Virginia City became, during the 1860’s and 1870’s, a mythical fairyland where any dream could come true, where wealth was lying on the ground for anyone who cared to reach down and pick up the pebbles, where sudden riches constituted the conventional order of things.

Following my retirement, I have dedicated my remaining hours to indexing the Genealogy of our western heroes. During my research, I discovered that thousands of our kinfolk lay unfound and unrecognized on some book dealer’s shelf gathering dust. Because Old Western History and Memorabilia was printed before computer indexing, I index every item I sell. This complete index will be bound and included in this offering at no additional cost. Humbly, I am trying to keep our history alive. I hope you appreciate the effort. DEEP UNDER VIRGINIA CITY By: P.
