Revised, Corrected, and Expanded Edition A Digital-Only Document Betty J. Glass 2018 WOMEN IN NEVADA HISTORY An Annotated Bibliography of Published Sources Revised, corrected, and expanded edition Betty J. Glass © 2018 Nevada Women’s History Project Dedicated to the memory of Jean Ford (1929-1998), founder of the Nevada Women’s History Project, whose vision has given due recognition to the role women played and are continuing to play in the history of Nevada. Her tireless leadership and networking abilities made the original project possible.

Our mission is “providing visibility and support for the gathering and dissemination of history about the roles and contributions of Nevada women of every race, class, and ethnic background.” The purpose of the Nevada Book Assessment Project is fourfold: 1. To identify published books which include information on women’s roles and experiences in any and all periods of Nevada history. 2. To produce an annotated bibliography for use in classrooms and other formal and informal learning programs. 3. To make the information available via online Internet access; and 4. To encourage additional research and writing on women’s history and related topics in Nevada and the surrounding region. Over 400 books were identified, reviewed by volunteers, annotated, and indexed for the first edition, which was published in 2000. Since that time, there has been a flowering of publishing of books by and/or about the women of Nevada. The second edition includes 1,362 books published through 2017. An effort was made to identify books that were not included in the first edition. In deciding which books to cover, we continued to “cast a wide net,” including many titles which contain minimal content about the women listed, but which are still useful in building a picture of Nevada women throughout history. While some historical and contemporary fiction titles are included, it was beyond the scope of this project to attempt to include all fiction set in Nevada that involve women characters. Who was a Nevada woman? Again, our thinking was broad, including those early pioneers, such as Sarah Royce and the women of the Donner Party, who were “passing through,” as well as later entertainers and national figures who, at some point in their lives, chose to make Nevada home. Temporary Nevadans include those establishing residency for divorce and those who migrate temporarily to Nevada for the Burning Man Festival in the Black Rock Desert. In some instances, captioned photographs were adequate to justify inclusion. The Nevada Women’s History Project acknowledges the following people for their work: Project Coordinators: Patti Bernard, Betty J. Glass, and Mona Reno Reviewers: Cheri Abbott, Patti Bernard, Betty J. Glass, Christianne Hamel, Janice Hoke, Clint Hubbard, Mona Reno, and Margee Richardson Author: Betty J.

The Bowers were among those who struck it rich with the Comstock Lode in Nevada. They built the Bowers Mansion with the proceeds of their silver mine, but then lost their fortune.

    Political History of Nevada: Chapter 1

    Political History of Nevada Chapter 1 Politics in Nevada, Circa 2016 37 CHAPTER 1: POLITICS IN NEVADA, CIRCA 2016 Nevada: A Brief Historiography By EMERSON MARCUS in Nevada Politics State Historian, Nevada National Guard Th e Political History of Nevada is the quintessential reference book of Nevada elections and past public servants of this State. Journalists, authors, politicians, and historians have used this offi cial reference for a variety of questions. In 1910, the Nevada Secretary of State’s Offi ce fi rst compiled the data. Th e Offi ce updated the data 30 years later in 1940 “to meet a very defi nite and increasing interest in the political history of Nevada,” and has periodically updated it since. Th is is the fi rst edition following the Silver State’s sesquicentennial, and the State’s yearlong celebration of 150 years of Statehood in 2014. But this brief article will look to examine something other than political data. It’s more about the body of historical work concerning the subject of Nevada’s political history—a brief historiography. A short list of its contributors includes Dan De Quille and Mark Twain; Sam Davis and James Scrugham; Jeanne Wier and Anne Martin; Richard Lillard and Gilman Ostrander; Mary Ellen Glass and Effi e Mona Mack; Russell Elliott and James Hulse; William Rowley and Michael Green. Th eir works standout as essential secondary sources of Nevada history. For instance, Twain’s Roughing It (1872), De Quille’s Big Bonanza (1876) and Eliot Lord’s Comstock Mining & Mines (1883) off er an in-depth and anecdote-rich— whether fact or fi ction—glance into early Nevada and its mining camp way of life.
