About Us

BeeHive Press was born in October 1975 as a monthly tabloid-size newspaper. That paper has thrived and now is in its 28th year of publication and has given birth to a child (also called: "The BeeHive") in Arizona. In 1985 the Editors of the newspaper commenced work on a major project of recording grave-stone inscriptions in Southern Nevada because the readership of the newspaper were mainly Mormons interested in their family heritage. The influx of new residents with unbounded curiosity had been a negative impact on the cemeteries of the many ghost towns of Nevada's silver and gold rush days so preservation was becoming critical. The result was a 725 page volume of Nevada's history and its permanent resting places of those people who "won the west".

The BeeHive then went on to compile history books on some of Las Vegas' famous hotels... the "boomtown" of Laughlin on the Colorado River... and the mountain resort of "Mt. Charleston" north west of the city. Most of the above books are now "out of print" and are valuable collectors' items. A few are still available and are listed here.

The age of offering books around the world via web sites came upon us rapidly and we responded with this presentation. We call ourselves "Taylor Books" because we are a family of writers. Three of us are represented on this web site. We hope you find something here that will interest you.
