Book excerpt: This is a slightly abridged color edition of the author's "Aurora, Nevada, 1860-1960" (ISBN 978-1536908008).Despite a century of history, and the valiant efforts of all those who believed the town would last forever, Aurora, Nevada, is now and forevermore a "Colossal Wreck" slowly returning to its beginnings-a sagebrush and pinyon pine covered valley home to jackrabbits and a few ghosts from the past. While Aurora is gone, its historical record remains, thus providing us the opportunity to reconstruct the town and its society if only in our imagination. Most historical accounts about Aurora have focused on the town during its early 1860s mining boom. However, Aurora's rich and colorful history deserves a closer look. This new reference oriented publication includes hundreds of edited and annotated newspaper clippings and other firsthand accounts about Aurora's buildings, businesses, major mines, social life, Paiute citizens, ghost town days, and final destruction over the entire length of its century-long history. It also includes directories for the boom years 1864, 1880, and 1915, as well as 6 maps and over 150 photographs (55 in color), many of which are "then and now" comparisons of the same view.

Download or read book Aurora Nevada s Silent City on the Hill written by Sue Silver and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2011-12-10 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ghost town of Aurora, Nevada holds a mystique among ghost town visitors. Born on the coattails of the great Comstock Lode discovery at Virginia City and Gold Hill, Aurora quickly boomed with mining men who held it up to great expectation. Within a short four years, the luster and hopes of the new city began to fade amidst legal difficulties and shallow mineral ledges. Although the town continued to exist and mining activities occasionally rallied on into the early twentieth century, Aurora's greatest moment and romance had long since passed.Of the reported thousands of people who once inhabited Aurora, many died and never moved on. Leaving them to their rest, their surviving families suffered the downturns of the town, and eventually moved on and away, with only a few families staying in hope that Aurora would boom again.Sadly, only Aurora's cemetery – its Silent City on the Hill – remains today to best evidence its long-ago existence. Whether the cemetery's occupants died at the hand of violence or by disease or natural causes; were young or old; were military veterans, miners, mothers or fathers, Aurora, Nevada's Silent City on the Hill examines the histories of those buried in its hallowed ground. These pioneers of Nevada's most romanticized ghost town now make the Aurora cemetery their last home.

It is anticipated that the information presented in this report will: (1) identify the present and potential land and water problems and opportunities for solving them; (2) provide a basis for more effective coordination of U.S. Department of Agriculture resource programs with the related activities of each State and with other Federal agencies; (3) provide a sound basis for the development of water and related land resources by means of Public Law 566 projects for other programs; (4) indicate opportunities for development of water resources and the rehabilitation of depleted watersheds and rangelands of the national forest and public domain, as part of the multiple use programs for these Federal lands. This subbasin report includes: (1) an inventory of the natural resources; (2) an analysis of economic development; (3) a definition of the causes and extent of the resource problems; (4) an indication of present and future needs for resource development; (5) a short discussion of existing resource projects and programs; (6) a description of the resource development potential; (7) an indication of the opportunities for development under U.S. Department of Agriculture programs; and (8) suggested future programs and coordination needs among all groups and agencies. The natural resource inventory was supplemented by a detailed reconnaissance soil survey covering the subbasin. The results of the survey produced a broad but comprehensive summation of the subbasin's most basic resource, along with an interpretative tabulation of the hazards, limitations, and potentials for its use"--Page 1.
