  • Before the bustling city of Reno emerged, there were two pivotal settlements: Fullers Crossing and Lakes Crossing. From 1858 to 1868, these humble crossings played a crucial role in the region's development, setting the stage for the arrival of the railroad and the birth of Reno.
    In this part, one of what will be a four-part series, we dive into the rise and fall of Fuller’d Crossing. Learn the captivating story of Charles William Fuller and how his road and bridge were instrumental to the rise of Reno. Learn this fascinating man’s backstory the struggles he faced as he pioneer his way through the Truckee Meadows and his eventual sellout to Myron Lake.

    I grew up in AZ and learned a lot about its history growing up but I've lived in Reno for fifteen years so love this channel for the NV history lessons.

    1857 was a very cold winter. The US Army became stuck at Ft Bridger in late Oct and couldn't march into Salt Lake until June 1858. Most the cattle and horses froze.

      @@mapadventures I know this era.... I own JC Fremont's explorations c.1844 and later. And Preuss Maps, Gunnison map 1845. And other explorers and travelers. And many dozens of original books on Mountain Meadows Massacre 911 1857. And I collect maps. That's how I found your channel, looking for map nuts. Found one so far.......Ok, but only a couple other channels..... Drove to Tahoe 7-27-24 and hwy 88 now has "California Trail" signs on the east end.... And there is the Mormon road off of 88, around 5000ft, 10 miles or so above Pioneer . And Maidens Grave and Tragedy Spings, also Mormon are nearby. And Genoa is/was a Mormon town. The Mormons left there and many other places in 1857 to heed Bring'em Young's order for all Mormons to come to Utah to fight the USA. Many thousand Mormons did as ordered.

    Your channel has such great production - should have so many more subs given what you put into it.

    Wonderful presentation! So Lake Street was named after Charles Lake? I though it had to do with Virginia Lake.

    • @mapadventures
      @mapadventures  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Correct, Lake street was named after Myron Lake. Virginia Lake (originally called County Lake) was made by the CCC in the early 1930’s. So first came the man, then came the road, then came the lake 🤓
