Read about 53 memorable events in the history of the Nevada as told by the reporters and editors who were there. These are the first-day stories, the roughest draft of history, the sometimes breathless accounts of news as it happened.
They were compiled for Nevada’s sesquicentennial — the 150th anniversary of its admission into the Union as a state in 1864 — by the Nevada Press Association from the pages of its newspapers over the previous century and a half.
From Gridley’s Sack of Flour to the Extraterrestrial Highway, these are stories unique to the Silver State — now in a new format.
