What you'll see here is what the combatants saw all those years ago. The year was 1860, and things had come to a head between the native Americans living in the Great Basin and the growing populations of Euro-Americans - mountain men, gold rushers, emigrants and gold and silver miners - passing through and then later moving into the Northern Paiute's ancestral lands. The Indians had had enough and this is what happened - the greatest conflict between white settlers and native Americans in the history of Nevada - one of the many exciting stories of the establishment of the American west.

This is the place to learn interesting things about Reno, the state of Nevada and the American west! I've lived in Reno for 37 years (as an adult!). I've had a lifelong interest in history, and spend much time exploring and researching this wonderful area. I started this channel to share some of what I've learned. I produced a full-length documentary film on the history of Reno's Harolds Club casino in 2015.
Perhaps you're thinking of moving to Reno and are looking for background on the area, or you're already a resident and this content might help give you a sense of place. I shall endeavor to cater to both groups!
I'm also a craft beer enthusiast, and thought I'd talk about some of that scene here as well. I started homebrewing in 1992, and earned the Certified Cicerone designation in 2015 - this is a sommelier-like program for beer people.

Please subscribe, share and come along with me on this journey! Thanks and cheers!
