In May, 1863, Confederate Bushwhackers, or guerrilla fighters, ambushed a Federal militia party on the Nevada square. . . .

Dr Earhart and Confederate Jim, his horse, came to Nevada after the Civil War. Confederate Jim lived to be 30 years of age and still carried 16 rounds of shot that he received in battle.

During the Civil War Nevada became know as "the Bushwhacker Capital," and was burned to the ground by Federal troops on May 26, 1863.
