Subject: Beer Garden Help


Hello, my name is Dru McPherson, and I am an undergraduate Anthropology student 
at the University of Nevada, Reno. I am currently researching for an Honors 
thesis about a field school excavation in Virginia City, Nevada in which I 
participated. The site I am focusing on was a mid nineteenth century beer 
garden.
I have searched through Anthropology/Archaeology databases like JSTOR, 
AnthroSource, AnthropologyPlus, and historical databases like Academic Search 
Premier, America History & Life, and others. I have also looked through ProQuest 
Theses and Dissertations.
Through my searches, I am coming up with nothing relating to beer gardens or 
outdoor drinking establishments specifically. I have found great information 
about saloons from that time period, but I would love to include something in my 
thesis about a beer garden excavation.
Is there anywhere I could look that I have missed? Possibly in the grey 
literature? 
I will list my current bibliography to show which sources I have been able to 
find and which sources I have found useful thus far.
Thank you so much for your help!
Dru
