Item description from seller

2 volumes. Reprint of the extremely rare first edition published in 1913. 1,344pp. Illustrations, index. Original gray-brown cloth, gilt-lettered spine. Extensive index. A very fine set in matching slipcase. Bibliographer Stanley W. Paher states of the first edition: "Of the half dozen major statewide histories published, this set is considered to be the rarest of all. Editor Davis has brought together a huge collection of historical essays and special treatises written by about 45 people, though much of it is his own work. several of the subject chapters are reliable renditions and have been used as primary sources for other books. a landmark study in Nevada history." Includes extensive chapters on geography, Indians, territorial life, law and crime, mining history (Comstock, Sutro Tunnel, etc.), politics, journalism, education, religion, transportation, business and finance, agriculture, social organizations, divorce, the military, reclamation, etc.; each of the 16 existing counties receives a separate chapter written by a local resident. An important source! For this reprint, Paher has added a new index of 6,000 subject entries. [Paher, Nevada, An Annotated Bibliography: 450].…
