Nevada Books

The fabulous Comstock Lode, Nevada's treasury of silver and gold, produced over $300 million dollars in the 20 years of its working. The treasure seekers of the world poured into this remote, windy and mountainous site, and a town of wood and brick buildings quickly showed the determination of the people to stay and prosper. Into this horse and buggy backdrop, the author has created a man who had the strength of character to hold the position of sheriff for 20 years. Sheriff Kettlebelly O'Neal settled disputes, jailed lawbreakers, married and raised a family. These tales provide enjoyment and insight into a time of fabulous hopes, spectacular disasters and unforgettable characters. (Published by Tanner ~ Shipped by publisher.)
