Bowers Mansion: The Legacy of a Comstock Family
No Customer Reviews
Few estates born from the discovery of the Comstock Lode still survive. Among the grandest, Bowers Mansion, dates to the height of the Civil War. The property has a tragic history shrouded in legend, laid bare within these pages: from the mansion's construction; to Eilley Bowers's fight to maintain the property after her husband's death, running it as a resort and telling fortunes; to the mansion's restoration in the sixties with aid of a handful of determined women. Bowers Mansion: The Legacy of a Comstock Family is a tale of wealth and poverty, of decay and revival, offering up a powerful story from Nevada's history for readers of all kinds to enjoy.
