Trade Review
"Boomtown Saloons illustrates how historical archaeology is evolving into a scholarly discipline that can expand upon written history. Today, Virginia City is a living ghost town that attracts tourists seeking the Old West. This delightful study gives us a better picture of life in a Nevada boomtown than we have ever had before." - Mark Michel, American Archaeology"
