Nevada Books

Many people are surprised to learn that Jack Dempsey once called Nevada home. He first rode into Nevada clinging to the brake rods of a Pullman car, too poor to buy a ticket. He left footprints all over the Silver State on his way to the heavyweight boxing championship of the world, and the fights he had in the saloons of Tonopah, Goldfield, Ely and Reno took him to Madison Square Garden, fame and fortune.
