Document for Today, June 24th:
"Saloons and disreputable places of Hazen [Nev.] June 24, 1905."
American West Photographs
By 1848 the United States had acquired official title to the contiguous land stretching westward to the Pacific, south to the Rio Grande, and north to the 49th parallel. Americans had long since explored and settled in many of these areas, but legitimate possession created an impetus for development that began to crystallize as other timely occurrences brought a greater influx of people to the West. The religious persecution of the Mormons had led them to begin their migration westward by this time. The discovery of gold would soon draw thousands more across the country.
This transition from a "wild" western frontier into organized segments of a federal union is documented in photographs. Private citizens and Government officials took the recently developed camera on their western adventures to record nature's curious sights and the marks that they as men and women made on the landscape. It is indeed a wonder that so many photographs have survived the hardships of the western experience, for early negatives were made of large glass plates. Some of these photographs have found their way into the National Archives as record materials of several Federal bureaus and offices, such as the Bureaus of Land Management, Indian Affairs, Public Roads, Weather, Agricultural Economics, and Reclamation; the Fish and Wildlife Service, the Geological Survey, boundary and claims commissions and arbitrations, the Corps of Engineers, the Forest Service, and the Signal Corps.
While the records of Federal agencies continue to document changes on the face of western America and the efforts toward effecting some kind of progress, an arbitrary cutoff date of 1912 has been used. At that time Arizona, the last of the contiguous 48 United States, was admitted to the Union. Having arrived at its destiny, the "Wild" West was in a sense officially terminated.

Thank you, my friend SGT John " Mac " McConnell for drawing attention to daguerreotypes and photographs of the western territories and states and the denizens and upstanding citizens who lived there.

The 36th Star: Nevada's Journey from Territory to State
"THE 36TH STAR: NEVADA’S JOURNEY FROM TERRITORY TO STATE BRINGS TO LIFE THE TRUE STORY OF THE STATE THE UNION NEEDED IN CELEBRATION OF ITS 150TH ANNIVERSARY
Reno, Nev. (June 17, 2014) – In celebration of 150 years of statehood, the Nevada Museum of Art honors the “Battle Born” state with a significant exhibition detailing the journey toward October 31, 1864. This special show features historic treasures from our nation’s capital, including a special four-day presentation of the original Emancipation Proclamation signed by President Abraham Lincoln, on loan from the National Archives in Washington, D.C. Also on exhibit are Timothy O’ Sullivan photographs, historical Nevada objects, and statehood documents on loan from important regional museums. Exclusively sponsored by the E. L. Wiegand Foundation, "The 36th Star: Nevada’s Journey from Territory to State" is on display August 2 through November 2, 2014 at the Nevada Museum of Art, Donald W. Reynolds Center for the Visual Arts, E. L. Wiegand Gallery located at 160 West Liberty Street in downtown Reno, Nev.
"The 36th Star" will be displayed in three galleries on the Museum’s second floor, each housing a unique combination of significant objects telling the story of Nevada’s journey to statehood. Highlights include: the 175-page transcription of Nevada’s State Constitution that was sent from Territorial Governor James Nye to Abraham Lincoln via telegram—the longest telegram at that time which cost nearly $60,000 to send (in today’s dollars); the original copy of the Nevada State Constitution, typically held in storage at the Nevada State Library and Archives in Carson City; never-before-displayed Civil War-era muster rolls of the Nevada Volunteers; artifacts belonging to Nevada’s first governor Henry G. Blasdel and Captain Joseph Stewart, commander of Nevada’s Fort Churchill; a letter from the first Governor of Nevada Henry Blasdel to President Abraham Lincoln, notifying Washington of Nevada’s ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment; as well as the historic Austin Flour Sack used to raise money for the troops during the Civil War. Additionally, two sets of original Timothy O’Sullivan photographs on loan from the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C., bookend the exhibition. Highlights include O’Sullivan’s famous photograph A Harvest of Death, Gettysburg from 1863, as well as over 20 Nevada photographs taken by O’Sullivan in 1867 as part of Clarence King’s government-sponsored Geological Exploration of the Fortieth Parallel. This is the first time these historic O’Sullivan images of Nevada have been shown in the state. The exhibition includes items on loan from the Nevada State Museum, the Nevada State Library and Archives, the Nevada Historical Society, the Library of Congress, Washington D.C., and the National Archives, Washington, D.C.

Wiegand Gallery located at 160 West Liberty Street in downtown Reno. The original Emancipation Proclamation will be on view at the close of the exhibition, for 36 total viewing hours over a four-day period, October 30 through November 2."

The first building in a town was often a saloon. In the UK it was an Inn for travelers.

What I like about the UK version of inns. On one side of the town had the Cock Inn on the other side of town was the Bull inn. By the time the travelers made way from the Cock inn to the Bull inn. Most stories became hear say, thus the " Cock and bull story " !
