From the Effie Mona Mack Estate
This item comes from the estate of Effie Mona Mack (1888–1969), a respected Nevada historian, educator and University of Nevada, Reno benefactor, known for her writings on Mark Twain’s years in Virginia City and her History of Nevada. We acquired the complete estate around 2005. Exact ages are not always known, so each piece is examined and described honestly.
