Hardcover. Condition: Fine condition. Near Fine dust jacket. Second printing. Reno & Las Vegas: University of Nevada Press, 2005. Inscribed directly on the title page: "To Bob Fisher. Thank you for your great representation of the broadcasting people. (signed) Barbara F. Vucanovich. Patricia D. Cafferata. January 25, 2006. Reno, Nevada." Bob Fisher was the founding president and CEO of the Nevada Broadcasters Association. Fine condition in a Near Fine dust jacket. Bright and shiny. NO chips or tears. Pages are crisp, clean and unmarked. Bound in the original blue cloth, stamped in bright silver on the spine. Complete with dust jacket. From the publisher: "When Reno Republican Barbara Vucanovich was elected to Congress in 1982, she became the first Nevada woman ever elected to a federal office, and the first person to represent Nevada's newly created Second Congressional District Campaigning as a "tough grandmother," she distinguished herself during her fourteen-year service in the U.S. House of Representatives by her indefatigable efforts on behalf of her state, her commitment to the conservative ideals of her party and the needs of her constituency, and her commonsense approach to politics and her own life. In this engaging, richly informative memoir, Vucanovich reflects with candor and modesty on her political career and the long road that led to it - her years as mother of a growing family, businesswoman, and community and Republican Party volunteer, and her introduction to politics as the northern Nevada manager of several of Paul Laxalt's campaigns. Encouraged by Laxalt to run for Nevada's new congressional seat, she became a sixty-one-year-old first-time political candidate. Vucanovich's lively accounts of campaigning and office-holding offer a rare insider's view of the day-to-day realities of a political career - the excitement and exhaustion of hard-fought campaigns; the endless cross-country commutes to maintain contact with constituents; the inner workings of Congress as bills are written, debated, and voted on. Her profiles of other politicians, from Reno city leaders to Nevada state and national officeholders to her congressional colleagues to presidents of the United States, offer valuable insight into the personalities and politics of some of the most important American political figures of the past half-century. This is a book that offers any reader, of whatever political persuasion, an exceptionally vivid account of politics on both the state and national levels during a notably turbulent era." . Signed by both authors. Second printing. Hardcover. Fine condition/Near Fine dust jacket. 8vo. xii, 311pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping. …

Hardback. Condition: New. The delightful and touching stories in Christmas in Nevada tell how Nevadans have celebrated the holiday, from 1858 to the present day. Some are told by well-known Nevadans, such as Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain), Robert Laxalt, and former governors Bob List and Richard Bryan, but much more of the book shows ordinary Nevadans celebrating in diverse ways the wonders of the season. The range of the state's ethnic and immigrant heritage is showcased by stories of Basque, Mexican American, Native American, and African American celebrations, along with traditions of Italian, German, Danish, and Serbian origin.Some of the more unusual accounts include the story of three miners trapped underground for forty-five days during the Christmas season, Tonopah's "Nevergreen" tree, and Reno's Santa Pub Crawl with thousands of costumed revellers. Through extensive research and personal interviews, Patricia D. Cafferata has created a heart-warming collection of stories, guaranteed to be treasured. Whether Santa arrives on a sleigh in a mining camp in Silver Peak, Esmeralda County, or a zip line down Fremont Street, Las Vegas, Christmas in Nevada brings warm memories, excitement, and good cheer. …
