About the author

William Wright (1829–1898), better known by the pen name Dan De Quille, was an American author, journalist, and humorist. He was best known for his written accounts of the people, events, and silver mining operations on the Comstock Lode at Virginia City, Nevada, including his non-fiction book History of the Big Bonanza (American Publishing Company, 1876).

De Quille was on the staff of the (Virginia City) Territorial Enterprise for over thirty years, and his writings were also printed in other publications throughout the country and abroad. Highly regarded for his knowledge of silver mining techniques and his ability to explain them in simple terms, he was also appreciated for his humor, similar in style to that of his associate and friend Mark Twain, and of a type very popular in the United States at that time, now referred to as the Sagebrush School literary genre.

Reviews

[Buzz Dixon · Rating 4 out of 5]

A streamlined revision of De Quille's far more detailed "History of the Big Bonanza: An Authentic Account of the Discovery, History, and Working of the World." Since it lack all the details of the earlier tome, it's not quite as fascinating a read, but if you want a quick overview of the famous Comstock silver strike and the legend of Virginia City, this is it.
