Title: "LAS VEGAS ...THE WAY IT WAS"
Author: Georgia Lewis
Forward By Mike O'Callaghan; Governor of
Nevada, 1971-1978
All the world knows of Las Vegas as an exciting
contemporary city, but few know that it has a history as unique as any in the
western United States. From a modest start only 75 years ago as an
encampment of tents in the middle of the desert, this text exposes readers to the years when Vegas was in its infancy. .
In this book was reprinted from the Las Vegas SUN
series which began April 23, 1979, and ran weekly for 18 months. Author Georgia
Lewis takes us back to the beginning of Las Vegas, to the tent town that sprang
up when the railroad was joined between Salt Lake City and Los
Angeles.
