Description

A bridle bit that belonged to Eddie Bounsall. Eddie owned a mine out in Gold Butte in the late 1900s, and was known around Mesquite for his wild tales of adventure in Gold Butte. He frequently recounted many of these stories in Mesquite's newspaper, the Desert Echo, and they were eventually compiled in a series of books that are available in the museum.
