Synopsis
A compendium of Nevada place names, filled with folklore, legend and obscure facts. It examines the history and origin of names like Bloody Run, Dead Peak, Burning Moscow and Physic Spring., Author and researcher Helen Carlson spent almost fourteen years searching for the origins of Nevada's place names, using the maps of explorers, miners, government surveyors, and city planners and poring through historical accounts, archival documents, county records, and newspaper files. The result of her labors is Nevada Place Names, a fascinating mixture of history spiced with folklore, legend, and obscure facts. Out of print for some years, the book was reprinted in 1999.

    I bought this book from this seller because he/she took the time out to answer my question about the book's contents, whereas other sellers who listed this same book for a lower price and did not bother to answer my question lost out on a sale. Sometimes customer service pays, folks. The book was also very well packed. A very satisfying transaction, thanks.
