Why this spot
1862-1860s gold camp with later revivals
Gold camp in the Palmyra Mining District that by 1863 had four hotels, eight saloons, a brewery and a weekly paper, the Como Sentinel, where Alfred Doten started as a reporter. Its boom faded quickly; post offices returned briefly in 1879 to 1881 and again in 1903 to 1905.View source →
