Caption: Marker detail: Breadbasket of the Comstock
Additional Description: At the Ricci Ranch in Dayton in the 1920s, Eliza Ricci feeds turkeys sold during the holidays in San Francisco and Reno. Dayton was the breadbasket of the Comstock in the early days when farms and ranches on the Carson River sold produce to Virginia City, Carson City, and nearby towns. Around 1900, the majority of farms and ranches along the Carson River were either owned or managed by Italians.
