The supplies in the storehouses were under lock and key with the

The sergeant of the guard was instructed to visit the buildings during
the night. The valuable supplies in this building consisted mainly of
bottled medicine, liquor, and clothing |

Eastern Edge of Fort Churchill
Fort Churchill was built in a square shape in a pass through the desert
which guarded the path to Virginia City's Comstock Lode and Carson City.
There are no "walls" because this fort would have been aware of any
potential attack long before any attacker got even close |
