Synopsis

Nevada has changed dramatically over the last quarter century, and in this revised editoin renowned historian James W. Hulse recounts the major events - both historical and social - that have shaped our state. Hulse's approach provides students and general readers with an engaging account of Nevada's relatively brief but turbulent past, making 130 years of state history manageable and accessible. The new edition discusses social and political changes that have occurred since the original publication fo The Silver-State in 1991. Specifically, Hulse considers the impact of a growing statewide population; new developments with the education system; the expanding roles of women; recent changes and developments in state politics; the exponential growth of Las Vegas, and provides an assessment of the changes in Nevada's growing ethnic population and increasingly diverse demographic groups. In addition, all of the recommened reading lists have been expanded and updated. The Silver State explores many dimensions of the Nevada experience and its peoples - from the prehistoric rock-dwelling Anasazi Indians to the extravagant casinos along the Las Vegas Strip. This book will inspire students and general readers to take another look at the rich heritage of Nevada, the Silver State.
