Additional Details:
The Territorial Enterprise, Nevada's first newspaper and its most famous, was founded in 1858 In Mormon Station, now Genoa, and removed to Virginia City in 1860. As the literary birthplace of Mark Twain and the most notable of all frontier newspapers in an age of gun fighting editors and violent literary feuds, it was destined to became one of the legendary properties of the Old West. The Enterprise is still published from the building to which it moved in 1876 by Lucius Beebe and Charles Clegg. On the Same premises is the Mark Twain Museum of which Roy (Buffalo Bill) Shetler is proprietor.
