University of Nevada, Reno Reno at the Races
University of Nevada, Reno Reno at the Races: The Sporting Life versus Progressive Reform A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History By Emerson Marcus Dr. William D. Rowley/Thesis Advisor May 2015 THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the thesis prepared under our supervision by EMERSON MARCUS Entitled Reno At The Races: Sporting Life Versus Progressive Reform be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS William D. Rowley, Ph.D., Advisor Elizabeth Raymond, Ph.D., Committee Member Greta de Jong, Ph.D., Committee Member Alicia Barber, Ph.D., Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph. D., Dean, Graduate School May, 2015 i Abstract The thesis examines horse race betting in the state of Nevada from 1915 to 1931 and how two opposing forces — sporting life and progressive reform — converged as state lawmakers passed progressive gambling legislation. While maybe not a catalyst, this legislation began Nevada’s slippery slope to becoming a wide-open gambling state. It examines how the acceptance of horse race betting opened the door for more ambitious forms of gambling while other states eventually followed Nevada’s lead and passed similar horse race betting law during the Great Depression. While other western states followed suit and legalized horse race betting during the Great Depression, month-long race meetings in Reno disbanded, as Nevada opened itself to wide-open gambling. ii Table of Contents Acknowledgments iii I.

Historic Kit Carson Trail
2.5 Miles of History found along Carson City’s Historic Kit Carson Trail Considered one of the top attractions in Carson City by the America Automobile Association, the Historic Kit Carson Trail provides a glimpse into the history of this city, known as the true heart of Nevada, for it is in this city the history of Nevada was born and history continues to be made. The West Side Historic District was placed on the National Park Service National Register of Historic Places in 2011 and borders the sections between Mountain Street to the west, Carson Street to the east, Fifth Street to the south and W. Robinson to the north; though, there are some interesting houses found to the north of W. Robinson located a bit out of the walking district. So historic is our city that the National Park Service has designated 44 local sites on their register. Note many of the homes and government buildings were built from the sandstone quarried by prisoners from the Nevada State Prison, built in 1862 and decommissioned in 2012. While the Historic Kit Carson Trail can be accessed at any point, we suggest you begin your historic tour with a visit to the wonderful U.S Mint/Nevada State Museum where you will receive an overview of the uniqueness of this state and Carson City’s contribution to the overall state history. Things to notice along the trail St. Charles/Muller Hotel (cont.) As with most old buildings, this one was in a major At the decree of Carson City founder Abraham Curry, all front doors within the historic district state of disrepair until local citizen Rob McFadden began to rehab it in 1993.

MSNC679 Myrtle Tate Myles Papers
A GUIDE TO THE MYRTLE TATE MYLES PAPERS MS/NC 679 By Arline Laferry NEVADA HISTORICAL SOCIETY Reno, Nevada August 2004 MYRTLE TATE MYLES MYRTLE TATE MYLES Myrtle Tate Myles was born May 15,1886 in Grantsville, then a thriving central Nevada mining town, to Thomas and Esther Tate. When Manhattan, Nevada, was first discovered in 1905 the Tates went there and Myrtle helped her mother run a boarding house for the miners. She met John Myles there and later married him at her grandmother's home in Big Pine, California. John Clack Myles was from a pioneer Austin, Nevada, family. He died in 1932. Myrtle and John had two children, Marjorie, and Jack. In 1920, while living in Keeler, California, she took a correspondence course on writing from the University of California . She started writing poetry and stories of Nevada for publication. During the late 1920's, while living in Carson City, Nevada, Myrtle became associated with De Aryan Publishing Company, selling subscriptions to International Poetry Magazine and soliciting poetry in Nevada. She had her poems published monthly in the magazine. She became a second vice president of the company, then associate editor. In 1932, the year in which her husband died unexpectedly in Austin, Nevada, she became a correspondent in central Nevada for United Press and later, after she moved to Reno, was employed by the Internal Revenue Service. Myrtle became an authority on Nevada history, and after she moved to Reno, she worked for the Thomas Wilson Advertising Agency doing the research for Harold’s’ Club Pioneer Nevada, a popular series of history articles which appeared in newspapers throughout the state.
