Why this spot
1867-1868 Union Pacific grading camp
Supply depot and lodging for Union Pacific grade builders on the Overland Stage and emigrant trails that quickly grew a newspaper and a red light district. The riot of November 1868 left sixteen dead and most of the town burned, and it was soon deserted.View source →
