Forgotten History of America's First Toll Master Hanry Van Sickle

Van Sickle served as the first toll master of the Kingsbury Grade wagon road, built in 1860. The road shortened the travel distance by 15 miles between Sacramento, California and the Comstock Lode’s silver mines in Virginia City, Nevada. Saving a day’s travel was well worth the $17.50 round trip toll. In 1863, toll receipts netted $190,000. Van Sickle sold the road to Douglas County for $1,000 in 1889. *Please set your quality to advance to 2160p for better viewing quality in 4K.
