'The appearance of of is major event in historiography' - Richard C. Lillard, Historical Society Quarterly. 'Well-written, extensively documented and carefully indexed, [this work] is valuable contribution for the study of 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 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 professor of history emeritus and Rowley professor of history at the University of Nevada-Reno.
