Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. Authored by a local school principal, this book chronicles the history and resources of Washoe County in Nevada. The book begins with the geological epoch in which the Great Basin was filled by an ocean, receding over millennia to leave behind the salt and mineral deposits found in the region today. During this time the author explains the indigenous Piute peoples inhabited the area, later giving way to the pressures of emigration brought first by fur trading and then the influx of people seeking their fortunes in the California Gold Rush. The book continues through the early settlement of what would become Washoe County, the establishment of towns like Washoe City and Franktown, and the discovery of silver in the Comstock Lode. Washoe County quickly grew into a hub for the mining industry, its valley towns providing goods and services to the miners. The book also highlights the county's natural beauty in the form of lakes and mountain vistas, and the appeal it holds for tourists even today. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
