Joe, post this?


Freelance writer Lynn Ferrin offers a vivid description of Carson City by quoting Mark Twain:
"By and by Carson City was pointed out to us," wrote Mark Twain in Roughing It. "It nestled in the edge of a great plain and was a sufficient number of miles away to look like an assemblage of mere white spots." The mountain summits overlooking it, he noted, "seemed lifted clear out of companionship and consciousness of earthly things."
