The record — long form
Virginia City is the '63 — the 'Alder Gulch' that's the richest, the '$30 million' that's the 3 years. The 'Fairweather' is the pan — the 'tobacco' that's the hoped, the '$2.40' that's the found. The 'Innocents' is the gang — the 'Plummer' that's the sheriff-outlaw, the '24' that's the hanged.
The 'Vigilantes' is the January — the 'no trial' that's the swift, the 'Dimsdale' that's the justified. The 'capital' is the '65 — the 'territorial' that's the moved, the '10,000' that's the peak. Virginia City is the preserved — the 'Bovey' that's the bought, the 'living ghost' that's the kept.
