17 x 12 cm (octavo), pp. [i-ii] iii-v [vi] vii-x 11-158 [159-160: blank], publisher's cream wrappers printed in black, side stapled. First edition. Wright, a close friend of Mark Twain, was an editor of the Virginia City Territorial Enterprise. Basically a guide book for Nevada which promotes the state's mineral and agricultural… resources, mines, railroads, towns and settlements, and natural features. In addition to providing a historical sketch of the discovery and development of the Comstock Lode, Virginia City and vicinity, there are descriptions of other Nevada towns, mining districts, railroads, and scenic points of interest, including Lake Tahoe (pages 115-128). "Although the Comstock Lode, and the mining and milling in Western Nevada, are the principal subjects of this book, yet it is not wholly a book on Nevada . We have been guided more by the natural than the political divisions of the country, therefore our little book takes in the western edge of the Great Basin, climbing up to the top of the Sierras, and peeping over in a few places." - introduction, page v. In addition to the importance of the text, this book is one of the more important Virginia City imprints. Once common, this paperback is becoming scarce in the first edition" (Paher p. 434). Graff 4758. Howes W711. Paher 2221. Wrappers chipped at spine ends, a very good copy. (#166338).
