ACROSS THE PLAINS IN THE DONNER PARTY: a personal narrative of the overland trip to California, 1846-47. by Virginia Reed Murphy. Virginia was 12 years old when her family left Springfield, Illinois to trek across the plains to California, their intended new home, along with 25 fellow emigrants. Along the way, her grandmother died, her pony had to be left, her family lost their oxen and had to abandon a wagon with their possessions, her stepfather killed a man and was banished from the train, and then she and her group were trapped in snows at the eastern foot of the Sierra Nevada crest at and near what is now Donner Lake and Truckee, California. As a result, 13 of those who started with her in Springfield, and 29 more who joined her along the way, never did cross those mountains. Here is the little girl's story, written by her later as an adult, now a part of the American epic of winning the West. Reprinted from Century Magazine with illustrations added from Frederic Remington and others. 64 pages. See sample pages, illustrations.

THE CAÑONS OF THE COLORADO-- the 1869 discovery voyage down the Colorado River. by Major John Wesley Powell.
Note the word cañons in the title would today be spelled canyons but we have preserved the usage from the time when this voyage was made and written about by the major himself. From Wyoming, into
Colorado, through Utah, to Arizona and the Grand Canyon, and to Nevada--this was the
journey of the "Colorado River Exploring Expedition", what Powell called his
group of 9 men and 4 boats as they began charting what was the last major unexplored part
of the then United States. The trip was not only scientific in its goals, but it naturally
became a grand adventure, with two of their party opting to leave the expedition before
attempting a furious cascade, only to be killed by Indians. Much of the land and scenery
which they drifted or dashed past is today included in National Park System areas.
Illustrations are by Thomas Moran and others. 64 pages. See sample pages, illustrations.

GEOLOGY UNDERFOOT IN
CENTRAL NEVADA. by Richard L. Orndorff, Robert W. Wieder, & Harry F.
Filkorn.
"This invaluable guide enthusiastically and
appealingly describes two dozen geological attractions in
Nevada near U.S. Highway 50. Interpretation of the
landscape fills each chapter, and the authors present the
evidence and reveal the reasoning process that led them to
their scientific conclusions." —Science Books & Films: Your
Guide to Science Resources for All Ages, American
Association for the Advancement of Science.
Most people think of Nevada as a land of casinos and
drive-in wedding chapels punctuating vast expanses of
desolate desert. But at the heart of the Basin and Range
province, the Silver State is also a geologist's playground,
with great topographic relief exposing spectacular geology.
Cutting a wide swath that straddles U.S. 50, Geology
Underfoot in Central Nevada explores 21 diverse walking
and driving tours from Lake Tahoe and Reno east to Great
Basin National Park.
In Ichthyosaur State Park, examine fossil remains of giant
sea lizards as you imagine the ocean that covered Nevada
more than 200 million years ago. In Great Basin National
Park, walk where glaciers sculpted the slopes of 13,063-foot
Wheeler Peak, the second highest mountain in Nevada, and go
underground in Lehman Caves to marvel at dripstone features
called speleothems. South of Carson City, place your hand on
an active earthquake fault that continues to lift the Carson
Range--evidence that, at least geologically, Nevada is still
a work in progress. Illustrated, 320 pages.

MARK TWAIN'S VIRGINIA CITY:
Nevada Territory in the 1860s. by Mark Twain (Samuel Clemens).
Here are the famous humorist's adventures in and around early Virginia City, Nevada
Territory (now Nevada state). There are silver mining, speculation in silver mines, work
in a quartz mill. A trip to Lake Tahoe to secure a timber empire resulted mainly in
starting a forest fire. There was the search for the Lost Cement Mine, and, finally,
reporting for "The Territorial Enterprise", Virginia City's rollicking newspaper
that reported the episodes of riches and murders rampant in this important Western mining
center. The writings here were first published in 1872 in "Roughing It", but we
have pulled from the larger work just episodes on Virginia City in order to maintain that
as a focus. Read these Twain anecdotes for fun, but, remember, too, that these incidents
really happened, and that the principals were often in dead earnest; it just took Twain's
insights to show the satirical side of human nature. Illustrations are from the original book and other sources. 64 pages. See sample pages, illustrations.

THE MURDER OF JULIA BULETTE: Virginia City, Nevada; 1867--with the life and confession of John Millian, convicted murderer. by Charles E. DeLong, convicted murderer's attorney, et. al.
Julia, a courtesan now legendary, had not only been a favorite female companion of
Virginia City's males, but had been an active contributor to the community in times of
civil need, such as the Comstock's early, terrible winters when she attended the sick and
needy. Her support of the volunteer fire brigade earned her the title of Honorary Member.
Her murder severely offended the camp's code of decency, hard though that was. When her
murderer was found, tried, convicted, and hung, virtually the whole town turned out for
the final event, "a fine hanging", "the most gala to date in Nevada",
it was called. That same evening, Mark Twain, returning from the Holy Land to this town
where he had begun his writing career, gave a lecture. Reprinted from a pamphlet issued on
the eve of the hanging of Julia's murderer.

THE PONY EXPRESS: a photographic
history. by Bill Moeller.
Fast horses, intrepid
young riders, and miles of untamed land–these are the elements of one of
American history’s most enduring stories: the Pony Express. During its brief
existence, the Pony Express captured the American imagination, and nearly a
century and a half later, it still does. In this photographic retelling of the
legendary mail service’s rise and fall, husband-and-wife authors Bill and Jan
Moeller combine exhaustive historical research with exquisite camera work to
create a stunning, full-color pictorial history.
Following the 2,000-mile Pony Express Trail from Independence, Missouri, to
Sacramento, California, the Moellers photographed sites, remnants, and
reconstructions of Pony Express stations, surrounding landscapes, and traces of
the trail itself. In the accompanying text, the authors provide a brief history
of this unique, eighteen-month business venture, along with dramatic highlights,
such as “Pony Bob” Haslam’s astounding 380-mile ride, “Uncle Nick” Wilson’s
survival of an arrow in his skull, and “Wild Bill” Hickok’s gunfight with David McCanles at Rock Creek Station in Nebraska.

ROADSIDE HISTORY OF NEVADA. by Richard Moreno.
Rich Moreno is one of the most
talented travel writers in the West. His knowledge of Nevada's farthest reaches
and the unusual history of each place may be unmatched.
—Ron James, Nevada state historical preservation officer.
There's more to Nevada than one-armed bandits, cheap buffets, and Elvis
impersonators. From ice ages to expeditions, Paiutes to pioneers, and dams to
divorce seekers, Roadside History of Nevada provides an overview of the
Silver State. Richard Moreno divides Nevada into six geographical-historical areas, rich and
often surprising in detail: Pyramid Lake yielded a world-record 41-pound
cutthroat trout; Virginia City housed Mark Twain when he wrote for the Territorial Enterprise; and Lovelock Cave was the site of one of the West's
greatest archaeological misunderstandings. Survey the boom and bust of the mining
industry, trace the desperate plight of the Donner party trapped in Sierra snow,
and observe the growth of gambling from low-profile to a neon-castle industry.

THE SAGA OF THE PONY EXPRESS. by Joseph Di Certo.
"Wanted—Young skinny, wiry fellows

Threatened by civil war and Indian uprisings, the government in the mid-1800s
needed better communication with its far-flung citizens in the West. Three
visionaries dreamt up a seemingly impossible solution: the Pony Express. An
elite cadre of riders would carry the U.S. mail across 2,000 miles of
inhospitable wilderness in 10 days.
Complete with dozens of illustrations, several maps, and appendixes of riders
and relay stations—including stations the reader can still see today—The Saga
of the Pony Express proves there's a reason some legends endure. 256 pages, photos.
