Although born in Springfield, Illinois and raised in Galt, California, Helen J. Stewart became “Las Vegas’ best known and best beloved pioneer woman.” 1 Helen J. Stewart came to southern Nevada in 1882 where her husband, Archibald, had taken over the former Gass Ranch. Renamed the Stewart Ranch-- also known as the Las Vegas Ranch—Helen and Archie managed a productive farm and offered their tree-shaded springs as an oasis for travelers, miners, cattlemen, and others passing through the valley. After her husband died in 1884, Helen continued running the ranch until 1902 when she sold it to the San Pedro, Los Angeles, and Salt Lake Railroad. The city of Las Vegas was founded on this land in 1905. Her role in the town’s future is only one of the reasons Stewart is lovingly called the First Lady of Las Vegas.2 Helen J. Stewart was an avid letter writer. Full of family and business news, Helen’s correspondence is also a literary record of southern Nevada history. The letters, the bulk of which were collected by the Nevada Historical Society, are fragile and priceless. This volume was created as a way to share Helen’s correspondence while preserving the originals. The letters compiled in this book have been culled from several manuscript collections at the Nevada State Museum, Las Vegas: MS 001 (Helen Stewart), MS 052 (Daughters of Utah Pioneers), MS 058 (McNamee & McNamee Law Firm), and MS 061 (Stewart Family/Claudia Leavitt). Several of the letters are from the Stewart Collection at UNLV Special Collections. The majority of photos included in this book have been graciously donated by Jim Martin, Helen’s great grandson. This book is a beginning and represents our response to the research demand created by Helen’s correspondence. The Staff at Nevada State Museum, Las Vegas hopes to add transcriptions of Stewart related ledgers as well as any other letters that may surface. If you know of any materials that should be included in future volumes, please do not hesitate to contact the museum. We are actively searching for manuscript material and artifacts relating to Helen J. Stewart. Crystal R. Van Dee Nevada State Museum, Las Vegas 1 Las Vegas Age, 01/19/1924 2 Carrie Miller Townley, “Helen Stewart: First Lady of Las Vegas,” Nevada Historical Society Quarterly, Winter 1973. ii Acknowledgements We would like to thank the following people and organizations. Without their help and support this project would not exist. Bob Stoldal, Board Chairman of Museums and History and pre-eminent scholar of early Las Vegas. It was Mr. Stoldal who inspired us to undertake this project. The Nevada Historical Society for providing the original collection of letters from Helen J. Stewart. UNLV Special Collections for allowing us to include some of their letters and photographs in this publication. Claudia Leavitt for her generous donation of letters and artifacts from the Stewart family. Jim Martin and family for their ongoing donations of Helen J. Stewart related letters, photographs, and artifacts. His contributions of locally produced pomegranate jelly and wine are also greatly appreciated. Laurence & Harriet Stay for their donation of a Native American basket once owned by Helen Stewart. Although not part of the book, having the basket in the museum has provided inspiration for this project. Paul Carson for his dedication to this project, including his research in writing the name glossary at the end of this volume and the daunting task of transcribing the bulk of the letters. Museum volunteers Mary Blake, Bernice Coffin, Maureen Kane, Barbara Slivac, and Denitra Williams for their help in transcribing and proofreading the letters. Dennis McBride and David Millman for proofreading the transcriptions. Nevada Museums Association for funding the publication of this volume. iii Editor’s Note on the Text In order to stay true to the spirit and content of the letters in this volume, transcribers have taken every effort to maintain the original spelling and formatting. Misspellings and variations in punctuation are not typographical errors made by the transcribers. Notes are in brackets, including comments on indecipherable words and estimated dates. Transcribers also noted the correct spelling of words when they thought it was necessary.

  • Section 106 Consultation
    Jan 28, 2009 Ms. Rebecca Ossa State Historic Preservation Office 100N. Stewart Street Carson City, Nevada 89701 RE: Section 106 Consultation for proposed Replacement Airport Traffic Control Tower, Administrative Base Building and Parking Structure Construction at McCarran International Airport, Las Vegas, Nevada Dear Ms. Ossa: This letter is in response to your request of October 8, 2008 for additional items in regard to the FAA’s Section 106 consultation packet sent to your office on September 4, 2008. Thank you for your explanation of the additional items you are requesting during our phone conversation on January 13, 2009. I have gathered together some data that hopefully will answer your questions. For the purposes of preliminary analysis, I have assumed a similar indirect APE size to that used by the FCC for a tower height of 200 to 400 feet. This equates to a circular area with a radius of .75 miles (or 1131 acres). I overlaid this circle on a map and was able to eliminate approximately 270 degrees of that circle because the airport property itself takes up most of that land. In my attached satellite and assessor’s map view you will see the remaining 282 acre arc. Since I do not have on-site personnel to take photos, I used Google "Street View" to generate the enclosed pictures. These show a sampling of the neighborhood architecture and existing setting characteristics. Attached is a report generated by the Clark County Assessor’s office that lists all of the parcel numbers within the indirect effects APE and their corresponding construction dates.
