Rawhide, Nevada, mid-1908. There is an inscription on the back of the image: "Rawhide was founded in late 1907 after high grade gold ore was found in the area. By mid-1908 the town had a population of over 7000. Due to shallow ore bodies only a few hundred people remained in the area by the end of 1909. Rawhide's mines produced over $ 1,500,000. January 1980."
