I came across a very rare postcard from Mina Nevada. And it tells the story too. What a beautiful reminder of the past life in Mina Nevada and people who lived here and spend some time here.
I was able to successfully read about first 1/2 of this postcard to Mama. And than I stumbled a little. First part says:
“Dear Mama! Am sending you a picture of the place where me are (or am) living now. I have a crash on the house me hire the first one of this …………”
And that’s what this very carrying son or daughter was writing to hers or his mom in 1915. It was more than 100 years ago.
I believe these cottages are still standing in Mina Nevada. Or maybe I’m wrong. But if they are and someone lives in them, they certainly should see this postcard and know that each of these houses have a story to tell. A story from the beautiful booming past of this beautiful little town on the western frontier of USA – Mina Nevada.
