A Short History of Carson City
Rich Moreno, ever the talented, entertaining writer, has given us an excellent summary of Carson City as a place with a remarkable past. The historic state capital gives Moreno rich material, and he uses it to capture a community whose significance exceeds its diminutive size. This is a must have for anyone interested in western history and specifically for readers who want to speak with authority about Carson City. --Ronald M. James, Nevada State Historic Preservation OfficerRichard Moreno s book represents the first substantial history of Nevada s state capital. There are no books that come close to providing a useful narrative overview of Carson City s history. --Guy Louis Rocha, retired Nevada State Archivist
