The publisher's blurb reads: ''When the discovery of the fabulous Comstock Lode brought thousands of fortune-seekers to western Nevada, shrewd businessman Myron Lake persuaded railroad officials to build a station near his bridge crossing the Truckee, and in a remarkably short time the city of Reno took root. Reno's leaders established their city as the seat of Washoe County, and the hub of rich ranching economy, It was Reno's frontier legacy, specifically its lenient divorce laws which brought it national fame. The struggle of the forces of reform in a wide-open Western town makes for fascinating reading A portfolio of color plates captures the vitality of contemporary Reno, while hundreds of rare historical pictures promise to make this volume an interesting addition to your Western library.''
