Burros carrying freight in Panamint City, California: photographic print

Information

Date
1940 to 1943
Description

From the Nye County, Nevada Photograph Collection (PH-00221) -- Series III. Beatty, Nevada -- Subseries III.B. Lisle Family. By this time Panamint City was pretty much a ghost town, but Ralph Lisle and his partners lived here while working a nearby tungsten mine. Because there was no road from Panamint City to the Mine, all transporting was done by burros, shown here loaded with cargo.
