A fun and informative exploration of how the classic television series Bonanza differs from the reality of Virginia City, Nevada.In 1959, one hundred years after the big bonanza silver strike in Virginia City, the classic television series Bonanza made its debut and brought the small Nevada city to the forefront of households around the country. The richest city in the world at the time of the Comstock Lode, Virginia City today might well be a ghost town if not for the fame spurred by Bonanza. The show was so popular that it went on to air for thirteen years and even spawned a theme park. Historical accuracy was of great import to Bonanzäs creator, but as the series evolved, it took on a life of its own beyond the boundaries of real-life Virginia City.

From the beginnings on Sun Mountain to the new technology created for Virginia City¿s mines to keep up with the demands of the labor force¿hungry for more wealth¿Virginia City vs Bonanza examines the politics, the environmental damage, and the social and cultural settings that made Virginia City unique. Readers will witness it all: silver¿s inevitable collapse, the advent of tourism, the natives, the diversity, the violence, and today, the fun. A must-read for fans of television and history alike.
