Trade Review
“Old Heart of Nevada will be invaluable to those interested in the history of Elko County . . .” —Eric Clements, Journal of the West, January 2000

“Among other topics, the author discusses name origins, postal evolution, educational history, the telegraph and telephone, significance in the history of American Indians, social life, law enforcement, newspapers, and fire and flood history. Such railroad communities as Cobre, Deeth, Tobar and Montello also find a place in the narrative, as do supply centers that served the cattle trade and the sheep business. Pioneer families and matters of ethnicity will interest many readers. Those seeking a sense of what pioneer life was all about will find no better source.” —Phillip I. Earl, Las Vegas Sun, November 8, 1998
