<p>Imagine what this was like 200 years ago. 500 years ago. Five hundred years ago, Manhattan was a forest  populated by indigineous peoples that made they own way. A Pictorialist view. A little softer, a little warmer. imperfectly perfect</p>

<p>In the 1850s, the Comstock Lode silver rush created Virginia City, 20 miles east of Lake Tahoe. Most of Tahoe's trees were logged to build mines. By the 1870s, Walter Hobart and Sam Marlette opened Sierra Nevada Wood &amp; Lumber Company in Incline. The steamship Niagara towed trees to the shoreline railway, which transported them to the mill in Incline. Rough-cut lumber was loaded on a tramway, hauled up a steep incline by a bullwheel, placed in a wooden V-flume, and floated down the East Carson Range to Lakeview. Then the lumber was stacked onto the Virginia &amp; Truckee Railway to Virginia City.<br />
<br />
A Lavish Cast of Characters<br />
Hobart Jr. inherited his father's wealth in 1892. He built posh cottages at Sand Harbor, hosted the rich aboard his yacht, and spent his fortune. In the early 1930s, millionaire George Whittell Jr. bought most of Tahoe's East Shore, including Sand Harbor. Whittell built the Thunderbird Lodge to the south, collected exotic animals, and threw wild parties. Daring aviator Frank Fuller Jr. rented a cottage at Sand Harbor and flew seaplanes out of the Harbor, including the famed Grumman Goose, which Fuller purchased from Whittell.<br />

After land struggles with the State of Nevada, Whittell sold 5,300 acres to the State in 1968. The land became the foundation of what would become Lake Tahoe Nevada State Park, opening in 1971.</p>
