Welcome to the Silver State of Nevada! Nevada is a state in the western United States known for its desert landscapes, casinos, and entertainment venues in the famous city of Las Vegas. But there's a lot more to Nevada than just gambling and entertainment. This travel book invites you to discover the many facets of the Silver State and to collect unforgettable experiences. Nevada is a state full of history, culture, and nature. It is named after the Spanish word "nevada", which means "snowy". In fact, there are many mountain ranges in Nevada that are covered in snow in the winter. The history of the state dates back to the Native Americans and European explorers who came in search of silver and gold in the 19th century. Today, Nevada is known for its world-class entertainment and stunning nature. Las Vegas is arguably the most well-known tourist destination in Nevada, attracting millions of visitors annually. The city is famous for its casinos, shows, restaurants, and nightlife. It is a symbol of gambling and entertainment and is often referred to as "the city that never sleeps". But Las Vegas is also a good starting point to explore the surrounding area, including Lake Mead, Red Rock Canyon, and the Hoover Dam. In addition to Las Vegas, Nevada is home to many other cities and towns worth seeing that offer history and culture. Reno is the largest city in northern Nevada and is known for its casinos, but also for its art and culture. The city is home to a variety of museums, including the National Automobile Museum and the Nevada Museum of Art.

Nevada’s relatively brief history has been nonetheless remarkably eventful. From the activities of the first Euro-American explorers to the booms and busts of the mining industry, from the struggles and artistry of the Native Americans to the establishment of liberal divorce laws and such unique industries as legalized gambling and prostitution, from Cold War atomic tests to the civil rights movement, from the arrival of a diverse and rapidly growing urban population to the Sagebrush Rebellion, Nevada has played a part in the nation’s development while following its own ruggedly independent path. In Uncovering Nevada’s Past, historians John B. Reid and Ronald M. James have collected more than fifty major documents and visual images—some never before published—that define Nevada’s colorful and complex development. Here are the words of such literary luminaries as Mark Twain, Sarah Winnemucca, and Arthur Miller; anonymous newspaper articles; public documents including Abraham Lincoln’s proclamation of Nevada statehood and the probate records of murdered Virginia City prostitute Julia Bulette; personal letters; political speeches; and personal accounts of, among other subjects, the construction of Hoover Dam, life in a mining boomtown, racial segregation in Las Vegas, political careers, and atomic testing. Images include photographs of significant Nevada architecture, the masterpieces of renowned Paiute basketmaker Dat-so-la-lee, tree carvings by Basque sheepherders, and tourism promotions. The collection ranges from the earliest descriptions of the region to the current debate on Yucca Mountain. The volume editors have provided an introduction and headnotes that set the documents into their historical and social context. Uncovering Nevada’s Past is a vital, enlightening record of Nevada’s history—in the words of the people who lived and made it—that makes for lively and engaging reading.
