Unionville is the typical silver mining town that was developed in the mid 1800’s, not very big but still, a place called home to a number of people that worked in the mines. Even Mark Twain came to the community, thinking that he would find silver just laying on the ground he was quite distressed when he found that in order to find the silver he would have to dig for it. Not being fond of physical labor he abandoned his quest for riches from silver and went to work at a newspaper The “Virginia City Enterprise” to stave off starvation.
