"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Born and raised in Las Vegas, Nevada, Stanley W. Paher always has been interested in the development of his hometown and the surrounding desert. Early in the research on this topic he recognized the dearth of material on the town itself.
Though his academic studies did not emphasize history, Paher nevertheless brings to the reader impressive and extensive credentials. He earned a bachelor of arts degree at Sacramento State College in 1965 and a master's degree in political science in 1969 at the University of Nevada, Reno. His first book Nevada Ghost Towns & Mining Camps entered its fifth printing barely a year after it was first printed, and is now a Western classic which received the coveted Award of Merit from the American Association of State and Local History.
