Overwhelmed by the spectacle of
Las Vegas, the scope of the
Hoover Dam or the import of the
Nevada Nuclear Test Site, the quieter pieces of Nevada history often go unnoticed. Paying attention to the drama seems appropriate in a place with “Battle Born” embroidered into its flag. But it is okay to take a break and read about the
Virginia and Truckee Railroad or revisit
Reno’s heyday before diving back into an account of
Area 51 or the
Folies Bergere. Enjoy the full range of the Silver State’s heritage in this catalogue of Nevada history books.
