Here's a subject that hasn't been covered in any other book about Las Vegas -- at least in this much detail. The author takes the reader from the first census count in Nevada (1860) to the presence, noting names and occupations. The first chapter of this work covers the time period from that census to 1930. The second chapter reaches through 1960 and includes details about African Americans working on Hoover Dam. Other chapters include: Pioneer Nevadans; Organizations/Activists/Volunteers; Nightlife; Public Servants; Politics; Religion as a Cornerstone; Education; Business/Economic/Professional/Employment issues; Crime and Justice; Challenges and Opportunities of the 21st Century. The book is packed with photographs, charts and graphs, a bibliography and an index. 238 pages, 2000.
