Today, the town of Palisade, Nevada is a ghost town 12.4 miles south of Carlin and 36 miles south west of Elko, Nevada. In 1850 it served as a station for the Central Pacific and Eureka-Palisade Railroads. The citizens decided that Palisade should be a tourist attraction by virtue of its dangerous people carrying out various acts of violence. Perhaps that is why the citizens of Palisade began putting on a show for each train that came through carrying passengers. They became known as ‘the most dangerous town west of Chicago!’ A Pinkerton Detective named Mason True-May was assigned the duty of traveling from Chicago to Palisade to bring law and order to the town and ferret out union agitators at the mines. Once True-May and his two associates reached Palisade, they discovered no union agitators were present because the mines were shutting down. The reported violence was fake. Just when True-May vowed to return to Chicago on the next train east, a real murder took place. That is what led to Trouble in Palisade.
