l. A DELUXE HAD COVER (COFFEE TABLE TYPE) 8 1/2 by ll inch
format on acid free paper to insure longevity. Over 750
pages of vital records. Smyth sewn... halftones.. Silver
cover with spine stamped.
2. Includes exceptionally interesting historic
newspaper extracts. Over ll0 pages of obit listings (computer
sorted alphabetically) taken from newspapers widely circulated
in the mining and farming towns of the l800's. These are
particularly interesting as editors of those days were very
descriptive when reporting the way a person died. And who
was guilty (before any trial was convened) if that person
died in a fray.
3. An exhaustive research book for family historians. A
survey of every old cemetery (ghost towns included) in Southern
Nevada. All names, dates and epitaphs recorded. The entire
lower half of the state of Nevada. All entries were taken
by on-site surveys. Then all data entered into a computer.
All entries then sorted by the computer and alphabetized.
It is the end result of an l8 month effort by "Nevada
Families Project" volunteers.
4. A local history book. Each chapter starts with a historical
review of the town in which the research was accomplished.
Reasons for the town's beginning, early settlers, politics,
growth, etc. Each town has a separate chapter followed by
the listings/tombstones in its cemetery. Each chapter is
in alphabetical order (town of Alamo first... the town of
Ursine is last).
WHO NEEDS A COPY OF THIS BOOK? Historical

re-cap of each individual town (or ghost town) of Southern
Nevada. Historians, Genealogical Societies, and individual
family history researchers. And, of course, anyone who may
want to start interesting conversations about the wild wild
west.
