Territorial Enterprise Birth, Marriage, & Death Notices (Virginia City, Nevada), 1866-67

Description:

The Territorial Enterprise was published in Virginia City, Nevada and perhaps its greatest claim to fame is the young journalist, Mark Twain, who wrote for the paper early in his career as a writer. The newspaper, however, printed more than just the colorful articles of this American icon. This database is a collection of notices of births, marriages, voter registrations, and deaths from the newspaper in the years 1866 and 1867. With over 10,200 records, this collection includes information regarding the type of event, date of occurrence, issue of newspaper in which it appeared and in the case of marriages, the name of spouse. Covering the territory of Nevada and parts of northern California, it was extracted from microfilm of the original newspaper.
