As you read Providence you’ll get to know Shawn and Joyce. This story is about these two people and their very unlikely love affair. Two people coming from two different worlds. Shawn, a young man with a mental illness, possibly due to the adversities, abuse, neglect along with a parental death during his young life, meets Joyce, a loving, caring older woman who loves her life but always felt something was missing. Their individual journeys, each on their own quest. One being freedom, safety, security and love. The other searching for an accepting, loving life partner. Each finding that missing piece to complete their life’s puzzle. It can be read as a metaphor for your own journey. As you put together your life’s puzzle, ask yourself, “Are any pieces missing?” If so, maybe, just maybe, Shawn and Joyce can be an inspiration in finding them.

Ghost towns and mining camps are the last remaining vestiges of the Old West; there is a mystique surrounding these places that has made exploring them a pastime for many in the western United States. Nevada has more than a thousand of these boom-and-bust towns. Some are completely abandoned, while some still struggle to survive and even serve as county seats. Sadly, these wonderful places, including those covered in this volume, are constantly in danger from vandalism and neglect. Many ghost towns and mining camps have been destroyed or damaged needlessly, and those who are captivated by their charm must protect these windows into history so that they survive for future generations.

Connecting the West: Historic Railroad Stops and Stage Stations in Elko County, Nevada

The story of Reedville, Virginia, is linked to the commercial fishing industry that developed in the late 19th century. In 1874, Elijah Reed transferred his menhaden fishing operation from Brooklin, Maine, to the Chesapeake Bay. He purchased the land on Cockrell's Creek that is now Reedville. The industry flourished, especially in the early part of the 20th century. Today, Reedville is one of the major ports for the landing of commercial fish in the United States, second only to Kodiak, Alaska. This Northern Neck area of Virginia has a deep history dating back to Jamestown, and this book adds another chapter in retelling its past by providing unique photographs that have never been previously published.
