A massive sample album showcasing the work of the important and prolific photographer and publisher, Burton Frasher. The album is notable for the sheer volume of photos, and its focus on Nevada as well as Eastern California.

The Nevada portion of the album consists of scores of compelling images showing main streets, hotels, saloons, restaurants, gambling parlors, mining operations, desert landscapes and more in places such as as Reno, Virginia City, Goldfield, Tonopah, Rhyolite, Gold Hill, Carson City, Mina, Beatty, Silver City, Hawthorne, Gardnerville, and elsewhere.

There are a handful of views of the old Chinatown in Carson City, including a pair of portraits of Yee Bong, shown posed in front of his eponymous cafe. Born in Virginia City, Yee Bong worked as a cook in Comstock and Lake Tahoe before opening his restaurant in the 1870s. At that time, there were over two thousand Chinatown residents but when the photo was taken, around 1935, that number had dwindled to only a few dozen.

Other interesting portraits include images of a Paiute woman weaving baskets in Reno and pictures of “Old Virginia,” one of Frasher’s “wanderers of the desert,” posed with his equine “pals.”

On the California side, there are also many views of Death Valley Scotty and his eponymous castle (which he never actually owned, nor is it actually a castle). A colorful Death Valley colorful character, Walter E. Scott was a gold prospector and con man who made a living through various schemes, mostly involving fictitious mines (or the pilfering of actual gold).
