NYE COUNTY INDEX VOL. 1: A-L A Master Index to the oral histories Produced for the Nye County Town History Project Nye County Board of Commissioners Nye County, Nevada Tonopah 1994 COPYRIGHT 1994 Nye County Town History Project Nye County Commissioners Tonopah, Nevada 89049 ALPHABETICAL LIST A B C D E F G H I J K L COMPILER'S NOTES This master index is a compilation of the indexes to all 75 of the oral histories collected by the Nye County Town History Project (NCTHP). It is not, however, a one-to-one copy of those indexes; slightly different headings for similar topics (for example, baling cotton vs. cotton, baling) were incorporated into a single heading (in this instance, cotton, baling). In this master index, there may be two or more identical entries of proper names because more than one individual with the same name is referenced. When possible, we have clarified duplicate entries. In addition to directing readers to the contents of all 75 oral histories, the master index yields a wealth of information to scholars and browsers alike. The place names, for example, give readers a sense of other places in the world that are related to the history of Nye County, including Washington, D.C., European countries, and many locations in the South Pacific. The index also hints at the rich and varied ethnic heritage of Nye County's residents; the names Victor Lambertucci, Benjamin Franklin Roberts, Fermina Serrias, and Pat Chiatovic are examples. It has been my privilege to work on the Nye County Town History Project since its inception in 1987. This master index is the final task in the work on the oral histories. I am grateful to Robert D. McCracken for giving me an opportunity to participate in this project. The indexes to the individual oral histories were assembled electronically into a single computer file by Dave Trump; I then combined or separated entries as needed for the master index. Bobette Host checked the final index. Although we have gone to great lengths to verify the spelling of names, the nature of oral histories makes it impossible to guarantee the accuracy of every spelling. That caveat aside, any errors that may have crept into this index are my responsibility. — Jean 0. Charney November 1984 ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Appreciation goes to former Nye County Commission Chairman Joe S. Garcia, Jr., and former Commissioners Robert "Bobby" N. Revert, and Pat Mankins, who initiated this project. Mr. Garcia and Mr. Revert, in particular, showed deep interest and unyielding support for the project from its inception. Thanks also go to Richard L. Carver, Barbara J. Raper, Dave Hannigan, Cameron McRae, Joe Maslach, and Ira "Red" Copass, who subsequently became commissioners and continued the project with enthusiastic support. Stephen T. Bradhurst, Jr., planning consultant for Nye County, gave unwavering support and advocacy of the project within Nye County and before the State of Nevada Nuclear Waste Project Office and the United States Department of Energy; both entities provided funds for this project. Thanks are also extended to Mr. Bradhurst for his advice and input regarding the conduct of the research and for constantly making himself available as a sounding board as methodological problems were worked out. In 1993, Les W. Bradshaw replaced Mr. Bradhurst as project supervisor, and continued to provide strong backing. This project would never have become a reality without the enthusiastic support of the Nye County commissioners, Mr. Bradhurst, and Mr. Bradshaw. All material for the Nye County Town History Project was prepared with funding received by Nye County from the U.S. Department of Energy under the Nuclear Waste Policy Act, as amended. — Robert D.
