Color image of Bill Rosse giving out Western Shoshone National Council permits for activists to enter Shoshone land at a peace protest. This was near the end of the 10-day "Reclaim the Test Site" demonstrations against nuclear testing.
There was an inscription on the image. "The burro was the principal form of transportation used by prospectors in central Nevada at the turn of the century. The prospectors had a love-hate relationship with the animals, which were dependable and well adapted to the desert region, although they could be stubborn and cunning. As the automobile became the accepted mode of transportation, the burros were turned loose and roamed the streets and local trash dumps of the area's towns. They were one of the principal forms of entertainment for local children until they gradually disappeared from the metropolitan areas in the 1920s. The burros that roam Death Valley and the Marietta area of central Nevada today are descendants of those left behind by the prospectors."
Arrival of a stagecoach from Stonewall Station, Hornsilver, Nevada, June 1908. There is an inscription on the back of the image. "Hornsilver, originally known as Lime Point, was settled when silver was discovered in the area in the 1860's. The name of the camp was changed to Hornsilver in 1908 when rich Hornsilver was found in the area. In the 1930's when gold became the major product of the area the name of the town was again changed, this time to Gold Point, the name it is known by today." There is a date stamp: May 1979.
