Summary
[edit]
| Description | "The Stocking-Thief", illustration from "A Peep at Washoe" by J. Ross Browne, in Harper's Monthly Magazine, December 1860. En route from California to the Washoe Valley (now Nevada, then the Utah Territory), at Strawberry Flat, reputed the best stopping place along the route: "With him departed my stockings. They were not very fine—perhaps, considering the muddy road, not very clean; but they were all I had and were valuable beyond gold or silver in this foot-weary land." |
