The way California towns got their names is sometimes amusing and always and interesting lesson in history. Many towns, for instance, were named by railroad superintendents. Instead of giving their foreman a raise in pay, they would name a train stop after them. Other towns were named for the type of industry there, the location of the town, or other curious aspects that attracted the pioneer naming the town.

One of the big controversies when Nevada became a state was what that pristine body of water separating the states of California and Nevada would be called. The story on finding a proper name is worth the price of the book. Nevada's history is much more than casinos and sage brush. There was the big battle at Pyramid Lake; there was a war between whites and Orientals; and there is the story of Nevada's last lynching. We promise you that you'll enjoy your trip through Nevada's history. If you don't, return the book for a complete refund.

Readers will also learn about several other women that helped make California what it is today. ISBN: 966005392 — $11.95Buy from Amazon.com- The Timeless Quotations of President Ronald Reagan
