<p>An illustrated history of Tonopah, Nevada. Tonopah and the mining communities that it spawned in southern Nevada represent the last flowering of the Old West in America. In the Old West, the discovery of precious metals and ranching combined with individualism and the lure of wealth and adventure to create communities immortalized in song and lore because they symbolize the core American values of personal freedom and opportunities for self-betterment. Perhaps more than almost any place in the country, much of the Old West still survives in the Tonopah region.</p>

<p>An illustrated history of Pahrump, Nevada. By the late 1800s, most of the western United States had been settled, ranches and farms developed, communities established, and roads and railroads constructed. But maps of the time show that a vast region of Nevada - including the beautiful Pahrump Valley in southern Nye County - remained largely unsettled, still very much a frontier. This is the story of a remarkable group of individuals - rich in the tradition of frontier enthusiasm for the future - whose hard work has created a vibrant community.</p>

Pahrump: A Valley Waiting to Become a City

This volume traces the history of this frontier oasis community from the area's first known Native American inhabitants through Beatty's founding during the wild and raucous Rhyolite boom era. It follows the changes in the community as it struggled to survive following the collapse of Rhyolite and emerged as a small but important economic and social center for a vast desert area. The changing role of mining in Beatty is traced as is tourism's steadily increasing importance. The history of Beatty is a story of hardworking and enterprising people building a community on America's desert frontier.
