Our notes
Harolds Club in Reno once displayed one of the great Western gun collections in its Roaring Camp Room: about 3,000 guns, with roughly 2,000 on view. Pieces tied to John Fremont, Kit Carson and Jedediah Smith shared space with a Colt from nearly every year between 1836 and 1902, the pistols from the 1859 Terry-Broderick duel and guns of Napoleon and Emperor Maximilian.
The club closed in 1995 and the building was torn down in 1999. The collection is no longer on public display; photographs of it are held by University of Nevada, Reno Special Collections.
