<hr />
<div>''Buckskin Mose: Or, Life from the Lakes to the Pacific, as Actor, Circus-rider, Detective, Ranger, Gold-digger, Indian Scout, and Guide'' is a fictional work published in 1873 that is based on a number of historical incidents in the region.<br />
<br />
The book was allegedly written by "George W. Perrie". Another name associated with the book is Curtis B. Hawley, who is listed on the title page as registering the copyright.<ref>[https://www.newspapers.com.org/article/the-daily-appeal-new-books/143674288/ New Books]," The Daily Appeal (Carson City, Nevada) · October 3, 1873, p. 2.</ref> The title page also states that C. G. Rosenberg edited and illustrated the book.<br />
<br />
Many of the names and stories in the book correspond with actual events. For example, the murders at [[Granite Creek Station]] are recounted, as are the murders at [[Deep Hole]]. However, the murder of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/George_Wright_(general) General George Wright] is fictitious, Wright drowned at sea in 1865.<br />
<br />
In 1911, Fairfield was looking for a copy of Buckskin Mose.<ref>[https://www.newspapers.com/article/the-lassen-advocate-if-any-reader-of-the/143675136/ If any reader of the Advocate has a complete copy of the old book "Buckskin Mose"...]," The Lassen Advocate, Susanville, California, March 24, 1911, p. 3.</ref><br />
<br />
The 1916 ''Fairfield's Pioneer History of Lassen County, California''<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=NRcVAAAAYAAJ&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&dq=History%20of%20Lassen%20County&pg=PA405#v=onepage&q=%22Buckskin%20Mose%22&f=false Fairfield's Pioneer History of Lassen County, California]," Asa Merrill Fairfield, 1916, p. 405</ref> describes the book:<br />
<br />
:"BUCKSKIN MOSE"<br />
:The George W. Perry spoken of was called Buckskin Mose. He was a blacksmith and at one time had a shop in Toadtown south of the bridge near the gristmill. Either he or his Wife afterwards wrote a book called Buckskin Mose. He picked up all the stories about the Indian fights that had taken place in this section and the book related these with more or less romance thrown in. Henry Arnold, B.B. Painter and Mose himself were the principal heroes in the book and according to it they must have killed the most of the Indians slain in these parts for almost twenty years. The queer part of it is that if the book had told the truth it would have been of historic value but the way it is written one must know what the truth really is in order to find any of it there. <br />
<br />
A 1938 article states that a George Washington Perry wrote the book.<ref>"[https://www-newspapers-com.wikipedialibrary.idm.oclc.org/article/the-press-democrat-perry-presents-histor/143674680/ Perry Presents Historic Book to Lassen Library]," Press Democrat, Santa Rosa, California, September 27, 1938, p. 7.</ref><br />

<div>The Black Rock Desert Gunnery Range was in operation in the 1950's and possibly 1940's.<br />
<br />
In 1942, several residents were named as defendants in a lawsuit brought by the Federal Government to establish the Black Rock Desert Gunnery Range. The amount of land is listed as 669,700 acres. Named in the suite are Samuel K. Johnstone, Walter A. Johnstone, M?nnie Johnstone, ([[Johnstone Spring]]?), Estate of George Sweeney, Edwin E. Van Riper ([[Van Riper Spring]]), Ben Cassidy ([[Cassidy Mine]]?), Fred Vogel ([[Vogel Weiss Ranch]]?), R. R. Whittier, John Doe De Voe, Albert Comes, A. D. Ramel ([[Red Butte Mining District]]), Walter L. Lowe, G. R. Simpson, Dorthy M. L. Simpson, and Ed Thompson.<ref>Nevada State Journal, "[https://www.newspapers.com/article/nevada-state-journal-army-wants-desert-l/142801158/ Army Wants Desert Land]," p. 10, October 17, 1942.</ref><br />
<br />
"An undated list of Gunnery Range and Target Area Releases Since World<br />
War II by the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_naval_districts#12th_Naval_District Twelfth Naval District (12ND)] states that the North<br />
Range (Lovelock North) of the Lovelock Aerial Gunnery Range consists<br />
676,758 acres of Public Lands and 41,241.34 acres of patented lands.<br />
The land was granted to the DoD from the Department of the Interior,<br />
Bureau of Land Management(BLM) in a letter dated 13 January 1945. No<br />
records pertaining to the usage of this property from 1945 until 1949<br />
were found. A letter Permit from the Department of the Interior dated<br />
22 September 1949 granted 272,000 of the 718,000 acres to the DoD<br />
revoking the remaining 446,000 acres, stating that the 272,000 "is all<br />
that is available to the Navy." The DoD renamed the 272,000 acres to<br />
Black Rock Desert Gunnery Range." (FUDS Site Summary)<br />
<br />
The Engle Act of 1958 (Public Law 85-337,H. R. 5538) is "An Act to provide that withdrawals, reservations, or re<br />
strictions of more than five -thousand acres of public lands of the United States for certain purposes shall not become effective until approved by Act of Congress, and for other purposes."<br />
<br />

<div>The Black Rock Desert Gunnery Range was in operation in the 1950's and possibly 1940's.<br />
<br />
In 1942, several residents were named as defendants in a lawsuit brought by the Federal Government to establish the Black Rock Desert Gunnery Range. The amount of land is listed as 669,700 acres. Named in the suite are Samuel K. Johnstone, Walter A. Johnstone, M?nnie Johnstone, ([[Johnstone Spring]]?), Estate of George Sweeney, Edwin E. Van Riper ([[Van Riper Spring]]), Ben Cassidy ([[Cassidy Mine]]?), Fred Vogel ([[Vogel Weiss Ranch]]?), R. R. Whittier, John Doe De Voe, Albert Comes, A. D.

"An undated list of Gunnery Range and Target Area Releases Since World<br />
War II by the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_naval_districts#12th_Naval_District Twelfth Naval District (12ND)] states that the North<br />
Range (Lovelock North) of the Lovelock Aerial Gunnery Range consists<br />
676,758 acres of Public Lands and 41,241.34 acres of patented lands.<br />
The land was granted to the DoD from the Department of the Interior,<br />
Bureau of Land Management(BLM) in a letter dated 13 January 1945. No<br />
records pertaining to the usage of this property from 1945 until 1949<br />
were found. A letter Permit from the Department of the Interior dated<br />
22 September 1949 granted 272,000 of the 718,000 acres to the DoD<br />
revoking the remaining 446,000 acres, stating that the 272,000 "is all<br />
that is available to the Navy." The DoD renamed the 272,000 acres to<br />
Black Rock Desert Gunnery Range." (FUDS Site Summary)<br />
<br />
The Engle Act of 1958 (Public Law 85-337,H. R. 5538) is "An Act to provide that withdrawals, reservations, or re<br />
strictions of more than five -thousand acres of public lands of the United States for certain purposes shall not become effective until approved by Act of Congress, and for other purposes."<br />
<br />
However, the act states "nothing in sections 1, 2, or 3 of this Act shall be deemed to be applicable" to "naval gunnery ranges in the State of Nevada designated as Basic Black Rock and Basic [[Sahwave Mountains | Sahwave Mountain]]."<br />
<br />

<div>The Black Rock Desert Gunnery Range was in operation in the 1950's and possibly 1940's.<br />
<br />
In 1942, several residents were named as defendants in a lawsuit brought by the Federal Government to establish the Black Rock Desert Gunnery Range. The amount of land is listed as 669,700 acres. Named in the suite are Samuel K. Johnstone, Walter A. Johnstone, M?nnie Johnstone, ([[Johnstone Spring]]?), Estate of George Sweeney, Edwin E. Van Riper ([[Van Riper Spring]]), Ben Cassidy ([[Cassidy Mine]]?), Fred Vogel ([[Vogel Weiss Ranch]]?), R. R. Whittier, John Doe De Voe, Albert Comes, A. D. Ramel ([[Red Butte Mining District]]), Walter L. Lowe, G. R. Simpson, Dorthy M. L.

"An undated list of Gunnery Range and Target Area Releases Since World<br />
War II by the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_naval_districts#12th_Naval_District Twelfth Naval District (12ND)] states that the North<br />
Range (Lovelock North) of the Lovelock Aerial Gunnery Range consists<br />
676,758 acres of Public Lands and 41,241.34 acres of patented lands.<br />
The land was granted to the DoD from the Department of the Interior,<br />
Bureau of Land Management(BLM) in a letter dated 13 January 1945. No<br />
records pertaining to the usage of this property from 1945 until 1949<br />
were found. A letter Permit from the Department of the Interior dated<br />
22 September 1949 granted 272,000 of the 718,000 acres to the DoD<br />
revoking the remaining 446,000 acres, stating that the 272,000 "is all<br />
that is available to the Navy." The DoD renamed the 272,000 acres to<br />
Black Rock Desert Gunnery Range." (FUDS Site Summary)<br />
<br />
The Engle Act of 1958 (Public Law 85-337,H. R. 5538) is "An Act to provide that withdrawals, reservations, or re<br />
strictions of more than five -thousand acres of public lands of the United States for certain purposes shall not become effective until approved by Act of Congress, and for other purposes."<br />
<br />
However, the act states "nothing in sections 1, 2, or 3 of this Act shall be deemed to be applicable" to "naval gunnery ranges in the State of Nevada designated as Basic Black Rock and Basic [[Sahwave Mountains | Sahwave Mountain]]."<br />
<br />
The BLM has the following Public Land Order 1632 May 7, 1958 "Nevada; withdrawing public lands for use by Navy Department with Black Rock and the Sahwave Aerial Gunnery Ranges," Federal Record Citation: 23 FR 3148.<ref>"[https://www.blm.gov/sites/blm.gov/files/uploads/programs_lands-and-realty_land-tenure_withdrawals_public-land-orders_695-2250.pdf Table of Public Land Orders, 1951–1960,]" blm.gov.</ref><br />

The Elko Section Chart shows the restricted and caution areas on the front. The Black Rock Desert area (R-266) is north of the WPRR tracks. Sahwave (R-433) is south of the tracks. The entire area is in Fallon No. 1 (C-524) a caution area. The 1954 Pershing County Road Map shows R-266 and R-433.<br />

<hr />
<div>Lays Ranch is a former ranch at or near the present-day [[Jackson Creek Ranch]], located on the northeast arm of the Black Rock Desert on the west side of the [[Jackson Range]].<br />
<br />
In ''Humboldt County 1905'', page 34 has a map showing two Lay Ranches, one at what appears to be the location of Jackson Creek Ranch, the other in the Jackson Range. The text states that the author traveled from [[Willow Creek Ranch]] up [[Trout Creek]] Canyon to the source of [[Jackson Creek]] and then down to the Lay Ranch. The next day, they traveled 2.5 miles down Jackson Creek to the [[Nelson Mine]] and then on to a second Lay Brothers Ranch.<ref>"[https://humboldtmuseum.org/humboldt-county-1905 Humboldt County 1905]," Allen C. Bragg, 1905.</ref><br />
<br />
In 1911, it was reported that Albert Lay's ranch was northeast of [[Sulphur]].<ref>"[https://www.newspapers.com/clip/101729306/no-word-is-heard-from-posse-today/ No Word is heard from Posse Today]," Reno Evening Gazette, February 22, 1911.</ref> Another report states that "Lay's Ranch" was "about 30 miles north of Sulphur," twenty-five miles south of [[Quinn River Crossing]] and on the "west side of Jackson mountain."<ref>"No News From Pursuing Posse," Humboldt Star, Winnemucca, February 22, 1911.</ref><br />
<br />
In 1919, a murderer surrendered at Albert Lay's ranch at Jackson Creek.<ref>"[https://www.newspapers.com/clip/101729761/mexican-admits-slaying-japanese/ Mexican admits Slaying Japanese]," Reno Evening Gazette, August 30, 1919.</ref><br />

Lays Ranch appears in a 1919 State of Nevada road map on the east side of the [[Sulphur]] road, whereas today Jackson Creek Ranch is on the west side of the road.<ref>"[https://www.dot.nv.gov/home/showpublisheddocument?id=1181 Roadmap of the State of Nevada]," Nevada Department of Highways, 1919</ref><br />

<br />
The GNIS does not have a listing for a place named Lays Ranch in Nevada, though at one time the GNIS listed an alternate name for [https://edits.nationalmap.gov/apps/gaz-domestic/public/summary/856506 Jackson Creek Ranch] was Lay Ranch. The GNIS file for Nevada lists "Lay Ranch" as being at [https://geohack.toolforge.org/geohack.php?pagename=Lay_Ranch&params=41_18_12_N_118_28_15_W_type:city_region:US-NV 41.3032339 -118.4707149]. That location is east of present day Jackson Creek Ranch.<br />
<br />
Lays Ranch appears in the 1941 Index to the Geographical Names of Nevada.<ref>"[https://www.google.com/books/edition/Index_to_the_Geographical_Names_of_Nevad/5wIvAAAAIAAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=%22Lays+Ranch%22+Nevada&pg=PA112&printsec=frontcover Index to the Geographical Names of Nevada]," Rogers McVaugh, Francis Raymond Fosberg, 1941.</ref><br />
<br />
In 1968, Mack spells the name as Leay Brothers Ranch and states that there were two ranches, one after crossing the Black Rock Desert, at the foot of the Jackson Range, the other after crossing the Jackson range at the edge of the Willow Creek Desert.<ref>"The Last Indian Massacre of 1911," p. 45-46, Mona Effie Mack, 1968.</ref><br />

<hr />
<div>Camp McGarry was located at [[Summit Lake]], about 10 miles north of [[Soldier Meadows]].<br />
<br />
[http://nevadaculture.org/docs/shpo/markers/mark_162.htm Camp McGarry] (dead link as of 2014-01-04) here on the old Applegate Trail was an Army fort manned from 1865 to 1868. Troops protected the Idaho-California mail and stage roads and the nearby trails in Nevada and Oregon. Officers' quarters, mess hall, barracks and a 100-horse stone barn were constructed 12 miles south of the fort. In 1866, Camp McGarry was made headquarters of the District of Nevada. In autumn, 1868, troops were moved to Camp Winfield Scott, north of Paradise, Nevada; and Camp McGarry, largest military reservation in Nevada, comprising 75 square miles, was abandoned.<br />
<br />
In 1996, Ray. M. Smith states that in the 1881 map, [[McNamara Creek]] was downgraded from a river to a creek and that McNamara Creek is probably now Donnelly Creek. An enigmatic footnote states that probably Donnelly Creek was named after an Army Captain who was at Fort McGarry who disappeared with his patrol group and that they were never found.<ref>''Nevada's Northwest Corner: The Black Rock Country of Northern Humboldt, Pershing and Washoe Counties,'', Ray M. Smith, p. 40, 1996.</ref> Review of military and newspaper records has found no mention of this. McNamara Creek probably became [[Negro Creek]].<br />

"Location. The Warm Springs District is located at Ashdown in N. W. Humboldt Co., on the Oregon boundary. Winnemucca on the S. P. R. R. and W. P. R. R. is 120 m. S. E. The district was formerly divided into the Pueblo District on the N. and the [[Vicksburg]] District on the S."<br />
<br />
"History. The district was located in 1863. A small mill built in 1864 was burned by the Indians. The Pine Forest Gold M. Co's. mill made the largest production in Humboldt Co. in 1905 and operated intermittently there after. The Ashdown Gold M. Co. had a new mill under construction in<br />
1919."<br />

The Donnelly district includes a gold mine operated by [[James Raser]] who built a 5-stamp mill in 1911.<br />
<br />
The Mineral Resources (1911) states: "''Leadville district''- The Donnelly and Tehoqua mines produced 110 tons of ore in 1910 carry gold, silver, copper and principally lead, which was mostly shipped to smelters<ref>"[https://archive.org/stream/mineralresources011910#page/531/mode/1up Mineral Resources of the United States, 1910 -Part I- Metal]," p. 532, 1911.</ref>.<br />
<br />
In 1913, the following was written: "What can be accomplished in mine development by one man is<br />
splendidly illustrated when one visits the property of James Raser,<br />
located 40 miles west of Gerlach and about 10 miles north of Leadville.<br />
This property was first noticed by Mr. Raser while riding the range<br />
for cattle. So firmly was he impressed with the surface showing that <br />
he quit the cattle business and turned his attention to the development<br />
of this property. It was a difficult proposition that confronted him, as<br />
the property lies far up in the mountains and required the grading of a<br />
road for several miles before it could be reached by team, and, worst of<br />
all, the snow is so deep during the winter months in that section that<br />
freighting to the mine is almost impossible. However, he went to work<br />
with a will, taking out ore during the summer months, shipping the<br />
higher grade to get funds with which to build a mill, and today he has<br />
an up-to-date 5-stamp mil1, plates and concentmtor. The mill is run by<br />
a 35-horsepower Charter gasoline engine. The mine is developed through<br />
a series of tunnels to a depth of 250 feet. The vein is very flat and the<br />
stopes are held by stulls and back filling." <ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=9CoyAQAAMAAJ&lpg=RA1-PA51&ots=SU_Zp7W4N2&dq=%22Annual%20Report%20of%20the%20State%20Inspector%20of%20Mines%22%201913%20donnelly&pg=PA36#v=snippet&q=raser&f=false Annual Report of the State Inspector of Mines]," p. 36, 1913.</ref><br />
<br />
In 1914, the following was written: "The Donnelly Mountain Mine Co., has been incorporated with a capital of $10,000 to operate the Donnelly Mountain, Belle of the West, Antelope, Lava Butte, Lulu B and Klondike claims, in the northwester portion of Humboldt County. Directors are James Raser, G. J. Blanchett [sic], [[John Raser]] and H. L. Norton of Gerlach. James Raser is manager. It is planned to start work immediately." <ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=AqwfAQAAMAAJ&lpg=PA168&ots=-i7rA7hHWu&dq=Donnelly%20James%20Raser&pg=PA168#v=onepage&q=Donnelly%20James%20Raser&f=false Mining and Engineering World, Volume 41], 1914.</ref><br />
<br />
Lincoln (1923) states that Raser discovered the mine in 1910 and that the Reeder Mine to the south was was said to have used an Arrastra<ref>Francis Church Lincoln, "[http://babel.hathitrust.org/cgi/pt?id=mdp.39015011432807;view=1up;seq=248 Mining Districts and Mineral Resources of Nevada]," Verdi, Nev.: Nevada Newsletter Publishing Co., p. 234 1923.</ref>. <br />
<br />
Mineral Resources (1929) states that three producers in the Donnelly mined gold. The ore was "closely sorted and treated in hand mortars."<ref>"[https://archive.org/details/mineralresources2901 Mineral Resources of the United States]," p. 98, 1929.</ref><br />
<br />
"Vanderburg (1938) wrote: "The Donnelly district is in southwest Humboldt County on the west<br />
slope of Donnelly Peak in the Black Rock Range, 47 miles by road a<br />
little east of north from Gerlach, Nev., a station on the Western<br />
Pacific Railroad and the nearest shipping point. The best road to the<br />
mine is via Leadville, Nev. This road turns off the Gerlach-Cedarville<br />
road a little north of the Swingle ranch; the distance from Gerlach is<br />
55 miles. The claims in this area are at an altitude of 6,800 to 7,300<br />
feet."<br />
<br />
"Gold was discovered in 1907 by a cowboy who located several claims,<br />
which were sold to James Raser, formerly of Gerlach. Raser shipped a<br />
little high~grade ore and in 1911 erected a 5-stamp amalgamation mill,<br />
which operated for several years. The Reeder mine south of the Raser<br />
property was worked in former years on a small scale by Lem and Joseph<br />
Reeder, who produced a small amount of gold bullion in an<br />
arrastra. The total production from the area is said to have been<br />
about $90,000, most of which was made by James Raser."<br />
<br />
"When the Writer visited the district in June 1937 there was no activity"<ref>W. O. Vanderburg, "[http://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/006866518 Reconnaissance of mining districts in Humboldt county, Nevada]," U. S. Bureau of Mines 6995, p. 20, 1938.</ref>. <br />
<br />
Vanderburg continues to describe the Hermit Group: "The Hermit group of six unpatented. claims and one fraction, formerly<br />
included in the Donnelly and Reeder properties, is owned by [[John James Thrasher | J. J. Thrasher]]<br />
and associates of Gerlach, Nev.<br />
Development work consists of eight adits, which, with lateral workings,<br />
total about 2,000 feet. Equipment consists of a mill, erected by Raser,<br />
and several camp buildings. The mill is equipped with a jaw crusher (8 by<br />
12 inches), 5-stamp battery (1,050-pound stamps), Diester table, and a 60-horsepower,<br />
1-cylinder, gasoline engine. Mill equipment is in poor condition and of little value. Water for milling and domestic use is available from several springs in the vicinity."<br />
<br />
"The ore occurs as lenses in narrow veins in granodiorite intruded into<br />
slate and quartzite. The principal veins strike northwest and southeast,<br />
dipping 30° northeast, and they vary in width from a few inches to a<br />
maximum of 2 1/2 feet. The gangue is chiefly iron-stained quartz. The<br />
gold is disseminated through the quartz in fine particles associated with<br />
a small amount of silver."<br />
<br />
Carlson states Granite Creek was "a former gold mining district, located in May 1902 by James Raiser [sic] and James D. Murray of Granite Creek. In August, 1902, the name was changed to ''Donnelly'' and the town or ''[https://edits.nationalmap.gov/apps/gaz-domestic/public/summary/854823 Raiser City]'' was laid out."<ref>Helen S.

The district was named the Granite Creek in May, 1902 and the name changed to Donnelly in August, 1902.</ref><br />

Overton (1947) states that [[John James Thrasher]] owned property in the Donnelly Mining District<ref>Theodore D. Overton, "[http://books.google.com/books?id=P_WKUKn3HzsC&lpg=PA63&ots=b3qU8Abi7B&dq=%22David%20Pennick%22%20gerlach&pg=PA63#v=onepage&q=%22David%20Pennick%22%20gerlach&f=false B046: Mineral resources of Douglas, Ormsby, and Washoe Counties]," B046, Nevada Bureau of Mines & Geology, 1947.

It could be that the Donnelly District was named after [[J.P. Donnelley]], the superintendent of the Nevada State Police. However, it is more likely that the district was named after a James Donnelly. The [https://archive.org/stream/10thcensus0759unit#page/n188/mode/1up 1880 Census] shows James Donnelly (b.1833) living at [[Deep Hole | Deep Hole Farms]] and working as a Vaquero.<br />
<br />
In 1996, Ray. M. Smith states that in the 1881 map, [[McNamara Creek]] was downgraded from a river to a creek and that McNamara Creek is probably now Donnelly Creek. An enigmatic footnote states that probably Donnelly Creek was named after an Army Captain who was at [[Camp McGarry|Fort McGarry]] who disappeared with his patrol group and that they were never found.<ref>''Nevada's Northwest Corner: The Black Rock Country of Northern Humboldt, Pershing and Washoe Counties,'', Ray M. Smith, p. 40, 1996.</ref> Review of military and newspaper records has found no mention of this. McNamara Creek probably became [[Negro Creek]].<br />
<br />
Sessions Wheeler states that [[Wheeler Ranch]] is also known as the [[Ralph Parman | Parman Ranch]] or Donnelly Ranch and is located on Donnelly Creek. <ref>Sessions Wheeler, "[https://books.google.com/books?id=gBYUBc-O4OgC&lpg=PA171&dq=Donnelly%20Nevada&pg=PA171#v=onepage&q=Donnelly%20Nevada&f=false Nevada's Black Rock Desert]," p. 171.</ref>.<br />

It could be that the Donnelly District was named after [[J.P. Donnelley]], the superintendent of the Nevada State Police. However, it is more likely that the district was named after a James Donnelly. The [https://archive.org/stream/10thcensus0759unit#page/n188/mode/1up 1880 Census] shows James Donnelly (b.1833) living at [[Deep Hole | Deep Hole Farms]] and working as a Vaquero.<br />

In 1996, Ray. M. Smith states that in the 1881 map, [[McNamara Creek]] was downgraded from a river to a creek and that McNamara Creek is probably now Donnelly Creek. An enigmatic footnote states that probably Donnelly Creek was named after an Army Captain who was at [[Camp McGarry|Fort McGarry]] who disappeared with his patrol group and that they were never found.<ref>''Nevada's Northwest Corner: The Black Rock Country of Northern Humboldt, Pershing and Washoe Counties,'', Ray M. Smith, p. 40, 1996.</ref> Review of military and newspaper records has found no mention of this. McNamara Creek probably became [[Negro Creek]].<br />

Sessions Wheeler states that [[Wheeler Ranch]] is also known as the [[Ralph Parman | Parman Ranch]] or Donnelly Ranch and is located on Donnelly Creek. <ref>Sessions Wheeler, "[https://books.google.com/books?id=gBYUBc-O4OgC&lpg=PA171&dq=Donnelly%20Nevada&pg=PA171#v=onepage&q=Donnelly%20Nevada&f=false Nevada's Black Rock Desert]," p. 171.</ref>.<br />

<div>Camp McGarry was located at [[Summit Lake]], about 10 miles north of [[Soldier Meadows]].<br />
<br />
[http://nevadaculture.org/docs/shpo/markers/mark_162.htm Camp McGarry] (dead link as of 2014-01-04) here on the old Applegate Trail was an Army fort manned from 1865 to 1868. Troops protected the Idaho-California mail and stage roads and the nearby trails in Nevada and Oregon. Officers' quarters, mess hall, barracks and a 100-horse stone barn were constructed 12 miles south of the fort. In 1866, Camp McGarry was made headquarters of the District of Nevada. In autumn, 1868, troops were moved to Camp Winfield Scott, north of Paradise, Nevada; and Camp McGarry, largest military reservation in Nevada, comprising 75 square miles, was abandoned.<br />
