GRAVEYARDS OF THE WILD WEST: Nevada

As with other Southwest states, gold and other precious metals were found in the 19th century, and many converged there, leading to a population explosion. Cemeteries of the pioneer and mining towns carry on even as the towns have fallen to ruins. Tatterson and Moulton discuss Nevada's past, and the people whose spirit of adventure lead them to live and die in untamed territory. Fully illustrated, in color.
