Nevada (Seeds of a Nation)

Review
School Library Journal : "Each book in the Seeds of a Nation series presents the history of an area before it attained statehood. Most of the colorful photographs of sites and the other illustrations, including maps, paintings, and tinted engravings are well chosen to support the text. Those looking for pre-statehood history, though, will find these compact volumes useful."

School Library Journal : "These titles will be useful for history units in their respective states."

Book Description
A wild, desolate land peopled by prehistoric native peoples, Nevada was first claimed by and made part of Mexico, then became part of the Utah territory of the United States. Made an independent territory in 1861, Nevada was rushed into statehood by President Abraham Lincoln in 1864 to preserve its great mineral wealth for the Union cause. Nevada explores the native cultures of the state's long prehistory, the coming of the pioneers and prospectors, its Mormon settlements, and the discovery of gold and silver that brought settlers and civilization and the nickname the Silver State.
