Synopsis

This book concerns itself with child labor laws and regulations in the state of Nevada as they existed in the early twentieth century. Early in the twentieth century, protecting the rights of children was an emerging area of public policy. The author provides a detailed look at the legal protections provided to children, examining the full range of child labor laws in place in the years 1917-1921. Readers can draw connections with the broader, nationwide movement to protect children and ensure their right to an education by reading this thoroughly researched analysis of the legal framework for protecting children in Nevada at that time. The depth and rigor of the author’s legal and historical scholarship will be of great value to scholars and historians, and lay readers interested in the history of early twentieth century Nevada or the background of modern child protection laws will find much to engage their curiosity.
