Title

Horse-drawn hearse in Aurora, Nevada, 1920s

Description

Horse-drawn hearse in Aurora, Nevada, 1920s. Aurora, Nevada was a silver mining boom town founded in 1860. Aurora was in its heyday in the 1860s (Mark Twain briefly lived there), but it slowly declined after 1870. It went through a rebirth in 1912 when a new stamp mill and cyanide plant were built at the mines. In 1917, however, the mill closed down and by the early 1920s Aurora was abandoned. One silver gelatin POP print purchased from Amalgre Books of Bloomington, Indiana in April of 1997.
