Abstract
The Gem Bar and Rioville Ferry Ledgers consist of of three ledgers, two of which date from 1911 to 1913 for The Gem, owned and operated by John Wesley Horden. The bar was built in 1905, and located on Block 16 in downtown Las Vegas, Nevada. The third ledger is of unknown origin, and is a record book of travellers crossing the Colorado River using the Rioville, Nevada ferry. Rioville, Nevada (first known as Junction City) was a settlement founded by Latter-day Saints in what they thought was Utah Territory in 1869, now under Lake Mead and within Clark County, Nevada.
