Item Details
Description
Issued 1874 Virginia and Truckee Railroad bond with William Sharon signature. Sharon was one of the most powerful men on the Comstock, running the Bank of California for William Ralston. The bank made a fortune by loaning to mining companies and then seizing their properties when they defaulted. Sharon was instrumental in the creation of the Virginia and Truckee Railroad, which he wanted to connect the Comstock with the ore mills he owned along the Carson River (with Ralston). Later in life, he also served as a U.S. senator. Some foxing. Virginia City Nevada Fred Holabird Collection
