Nevada: A Bicentennial History

Sagebrush and neon, shepherds and gangsters, a crossroads and a refuge, Nevada is a state that "didn't deserve to be."

How well it has succeeded is the subject of Robert Laxalt's evocative portrait of the state and its people.In a gently sentimental style, Robert Laxalt's narrative history offers readers a highly personal review of the Silver State's past, combined with delightful anecdotes.
