  • 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.

  • Resolution of Tribute on Telecommunications
    RESOLUTION OF TRIBUTE ON TELECOMMUNICATIONS WHEREAS, Recent access charge decisions and divestiture related tariffs are having a major impact on the cost to libraries of telecom­ munications, through which libraries share resources and enhance service delivery to the nation's library users; and WHEREAS, Senator Larry Pressler (R-SD), a Member of the Senate Communica­ tions Subcommittee, has recognized the public interest served by libraries and the unique role of libraries in providing universal access to information; and WHEREAS, Senator Pressler has spearheaded over the last two years a sustained effort to protect libraries and their users from the impact of sudden and significant rate increases for existing telecommunications services; and WHEREAS, Senator Pressler's most recent efforts included a letter to the Federal Communications Commission recommending suspension and further consideration of pending tariffs, and consideration of a special private line service for libraries; and WHEREAS, A total of twenty-eight Senators signed the February 1985 letter to the FCC, indicating strong bipartisan support for libraries as common carriers of information; and WHEREAS, Thanks to the Senate efforts, the private line tariffs now in effect provide for a much less drastic increase for libraries than originally proposed; and WHEREAS, Senator Pressler has demonstrated his continued leadership in the effort to assure universal access to information; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That the American Library Association commend Senator Larry Pressler
