Battle Born Distribution

We are located in the state of Nevada, which gained the nickname “Battle Born” when it was admitted to the Union during the Civil War, in 1864.  Nevada played a key role, politically, in the election of Abraham Lincoln, but its main contribution to the abolishment of slavery came from its burgeoning mining industry.  At least $400 million in silver ore from the Comstock Lode was used to finance the federal war effort.
