View source for Trego

Trego is the location of a former station on the [[Western Pacific Railroad]] and a current siding.  Trego Hot Springs is located about 2 miles northeast of Trego on the railroad tracks.

The name "Trego" dates from the 1910's, just after the railroad was built.  Previously, the springs had names like Hot Springs, Kyles Hot Springs (1864), Butte Spring, and Butte Hot Spring. 

Today, Trego is best known for its hot springs, which is a long ditch with a mud bottom.  The springs are at the north end, near the railroad tracks, and the water flows south.  Garside reports that the springs have a temperature of 187F.  

The area near the springs were seasonally occupied from 4000 B.P. and 1000 B.P.  

Fairfield states that in 1856, Ladue Vary and [[Fred Hines]] discovered the springs that were later named Trego when they took a short cut from Granite Creek (now known as [[Granite Ranch]]) across the playa towards [[Rabbit Hole Spring]].  When they arrived at the Humboldt River, the met a wagon train on the [[Nobles Trail]].  Vary and Hines told the emigrants about the spring, and the emigrants took the shortcut and the Nobles trail was adjusted accordingly.  "Hot Spr" appears on the 1857 map "Map of the Western Division of the Fort Kearney South Pass and Honey Lake Road" at that location.  (Ladue founded [[Deep Hole]] in October of 1856 and then later founded [[Varyville]]).  "Hot Spr. Sta" appears in an 1876 map.<ref>[http://www.davidrumsey.com/luna/servlet/detail/RUMSEY~8~1~215908~5502250:California,-Nevada,-Utah-And-Arizon Bancroft's Map Of California, Nevada, Utah And Arizona], Published By A.L. Bancroft, & Compy. Booksellers & Stationers San Francisco Cal. 1876.</ref>

The 400 foot long trench was initially hand dug by a group led by [[Frederick_W._Lander]] in 1860.

Amesbury reports two 1861 entries from the diary of Edith Lockhart:

"August 18: Pleasant day.  Started at noon and went 18 miles to Rabbit Hole Springs, rested a couple of hours and went 18 more miles by the next day to Hot Springs."

"Aug. 19. A warm day - got into camp at 10 oclock in this morning, laid over till evening - when we went 12 miles to Granite Creek or Wells."

In June 1864, Company D of the Nevada Volunteer Calvary passed through [[Rabbit Hole Spring]] and then traveled twenty miles to "Hot Springs, now another Western Pacific Railroad village."<ref>[http://nsla.nevadaculture.org/statepubs/epubs/210777-1962-3-4Fall-Winter.pdf The Sagebrush Soldiers]," Nevada Historical Society Quarterly, map on p. 65, Vol. 5, No.3-4, 1963.</ref>

The area was named Trego around the time the railroad came through.  Carlson and Basso state that Trego was named after nearby Mount Trego, which is formally known as [[Old Razorback Mountain]].  The name Mount Trego appears on the Pershing County Assesors Map and on the 1968 and 1971 NV DOT Maps.  The earliest citation for Trego is a [[Railroad]] timetable and map that that mentions Trego and that states that "Through passenger service between San Francisco and Salt Lake City will take place August 22, 1910."  An April 29, 1912 newspaper article that states that ""[[Gerlach_"Great_Boiling"_Springs#Borax | Borax]]" in the water from Trego was the cause of a train engine boiler explosion that killed three people.

The 1914-1915 WPRR Descriptive Time Table states: "Queer hummocks are scattered over the surface and not far from the tracks at Trego, formerly Trego Springs, are the [[Double Hot Springs]], steamy in winter. The old overland trail passes here. The sharp bluish spurs of the [[Granite Range]], soon to be crossed, are plain ahead on the right.  From the Granite Range will be sighted California"<ref>"[[Descriptive Time Tables, Denver and Rio Grande - Western Pacific, Winter 1914-1915]]."</ref> ''Double Hot Springs are many miles from Trego.''

In 1920, a man was murdered at Trego.<ref>Reno Gazette-Journal, "[https://www.newspapers.com/image/147082778/?terms=%22Butler%22 Mexican Prisoner Shoots Constable]," November 29, 1920.  [[Gerlach Constable]] Scott Butler shot in the leg on a train after arresting Manuel Hernandez at [[Jungo]].  Hernandez suspected in the disappearance of a man.</ref><ref>Nevada Gazette-Journal, "[https://www.newspapers.com/image/147006151/?terms=%22Trego%22 May be Victim of Hernandez]," March 12, 1921.</ref>

In February, 1921, three unidentified bodies were buried at Trego.  In June, 1922, there was interest in these bodies when a few weeks prior a body was discovered in a shallow grave near Gerlach.  Joseph Romeros was convicted in the Gerlach killing.<ref>"[https://www.newspapers.com/clip/55000385/bones-uncovered-in-desert-grave/ Bones Uncovered in Desert Grave]," Reno Evening Gazette, June 6, 1922</ref><ref>"[https://www.newspapers.com/clip/54999815/murder-mystery-at-trego-solved/ 'Murder Mystery' at Trego Solved]," Reno Evening Gazette, June 13, 1922.</ref>

In 1994, [[Desert Siteworks]] was held at Trego.  Desert Siteworks was a series of art events led by William Binzen, assisted by Judy West and John Law from 1993 to 1996.  Desert Siteworks sometimes coincided with Burning Man, and many of the principles developed at Desert Siteworks (such as Leave-No-Trace) were adopted by Burning Man.

Unlike nearby [[Frog (Garrett Ranch) Springs]], Trego is on public land.

17. 26Pell8, Trego Hot Springs 

The Nevada State Museum surveyed 86 miles along a proposed Bell Telephone 
undergound route in 1971. Among the sites found during this survey was 26Pell8, 
a major occupation site near Trego Hot Spring. Test excavations showed signif- 
icant depth and cultural features. Nevada Bell funded large-scale excavations 
by the Nevada State Museum under the field supervision of James Toney in 1972. 
Some further field work was done in 1973. 

The first published report of this site was by Jonathan Davis and Robert 
Elston (1972) who described its stratigraphy. They interpreted the 
startigraphy in terms of climatic variables. Sometime before 3300 B.P. a 
deep lake occupied the playa. The lake receded during a dry interval 
(possibly the Al ti thermal ) . Between 3300 and 1400 B.P. moister conditions 
produced an ephemeral lake, and the major occupation of 26Pell8 occurred at 
this time. Around 1400 B.P. the climate again became drier, then moister 
again, and, finally, the dry conditions which prevail today were established. 

In 1980 Susan Seek completed a comprehensive report on 26Pell8. She listed 
the radiocarbon dates, which ranged from 3810 B.P. to 1120 B.P. (Valastro, 
Davis, and Varela 1979), and related them to the climatic and cultural 
sequence. Cultural features and artifacts from the site were described in 
her report which also included a number of specialists ' appendices (Clark 
1980; Danise 1980; Davis 1980; Rosen 1980; Stearns 1980; and Wright 1980). 
Seek concludes that 26Pell8 was occupied between 4000 B.P. and 1000 B.P. 
Plant foods, jackrabbit, and cottontail seemed to be emphasized. The 
occurrence of semi -permanent structures suggests extended occupation and 
Seek concludes that 26Pell8 was a summer camp from which people exploited 
lacustrine resources on the now dry playa.

"In 1853 when he was seventeen years old Fred Hines crossed the plains with Dr Minor. He passed through this valley over the Noble road and went on to Shasta and mined there until July 1856. Then he Ladue Vary and A U Sylvester came to this valley; Vary to prospect, and the others to trade with the emigrants. They went out to Lassen's Meadows on the Humboldt and stayed there until the last of September or the first of October. During that time Hines and Vary came back to Deep Hole springs with a pack train. When they went back Hines concluded to go straight across from Granite creek to Rabbit Hole and save a good many miles of travel. They did this and about midway between the two places found some hot springs. Shortly after they got back to the Humboldt an emigrant train came along. They were going over the Noble road and Hines told them how to keep his trail and find the hot springs. They followed his directions and made a new road which was traveled after this instead of the old one."
