This book is to provide those who might wish to know, the little-known story of the Pahranagat Valley during the "Old West" mining boom days. So much of its story has been overshadowed and ignored by the spectacular stories of the mining town, Pioche, Nevada, which was notorious for the violence of the times (1860-1880s) and its "Murderer's Row" of headstones in its cemetery. Pioche was only a half day trip by stagecoach, east from Hiko, Nevada in the Pahranagat Valley.
The people who toiled in the mines, settled the farms and built the small communities in the Pahranagat Valley, a place they called "home," have stories worthy of note. This book celebrates their legacies.
