HENNESS PASS
(Written in honor of this weekend's Henness Pass Association Jeep Trek to Webber
Lake)
By Jack Miner i
The famous Pioneer Hotel, operated by "Andy" Andrew
Jackson Putnam from Massachusetts, stood a short distance
from North San Juan on Wood's Henness Pass Turnpike.
Many a weary Virginia City bound traveler rested at this
hostelry while the white gloved stage driver importantly
checked axles, wheels, harness and the hoofs of his team
before continuing the long drive.
The next door Livery Stable was run by Ned Dade, and
in the small though indispensable blacksmith shop, set
back between the Hotel] and the stable, Jim Cooke wielded
the hammer and tong.
