Sinossi

When the first edition of History of Nevada was published in 1973, the critics wrote: 'This is an immensely absorbing book about a ruggedly beautiful and wholly intriguing state' - "American West". 'The appearance of History of Nevada is a major event in Nevada historiography' - Richard C. Lillard, "Nevada Historical Society Quarterly". 'Well-written, extensively documented and carefully indexed, [this work] is a valuable contribution for the study of a state too often mentioned only for gold and silver rushes, atomic bomb testing, or the opulent honky tonk of Las Vegas and its ilk' - "Pacific Historian".This updated edition of "History of Nevada" is still the most comprehensive one-volume economic, political, and social history of a state that was once thought of as "a bridge to somewhere else." It will be welcomed by students and general readers. Russell R. Elliott is the author of "Nevada's Twentieth-Century Mining Boom", and William D. Rowley is the author of "U.S. Forest Service Grazing" and "Rangelands: A History". Elliott is a professor of history emeritus and Rowley a professor of history at the University of Nevada-Reno.
