Daggett



DAGGETT, IT WAS REPORTED with some exaggeration in late 1888, comprised several houses, a store, and 20 saloons lining a sandy street, “a condition of things not calculated to make the place exactly a prohibition stronghold.” Yet through Daggett passed $100,000 in bullion from Calico every month.

Daggett's large business district made it an outfitting point for prospectors roaming the Mojave Desert and Death Valley. In 1890, when 277 lived in the voting precinct, the businesses included a “splendid” freight and passenger depot, large eating house, post office, express office, school, churches, and several general stores.
