That is an entertaining and anecdotal remedy of Reno’s history. Splendidly illustrated with dozens of black & white images, the authors uncover a few little known facts and enlighten readers about Reno’s colorful past and the parade of bigger-than-life characters who left their mark at the town, including: pathfinder John C. Fremont who named the river coursing down from Lake Tahoe after his Paiute guide, Truckee; railroad barons who plotted out the financial heart of Nevada; gambling kings who ran strings of prostitutes and laundered money for gangsters like Pretty Boy Floyd and John Dillinger; the celebs who made Reno a divorce mecca; the carnival barker named Pappy Smith who invented Harrold Club; bingo man Bill Harrah who made Nevada the entertainment capital of the arena.
