CITY, NEVADA— Virginia City's historic cemeteries are often referred to as "Boot Hill," but the term does not apply. Boot Hill was a generic term for the graveyards where gamblers, prostitutes and murderers were buried. Virginia City's cemeteries, of which there were once as many as fifteen, are not the resting places of the rich and famous, either. A visit quickly reveals the truth, that ordinary people rest here, the shopkeepers, bartenders, miners and their families.
