A Short History of Reno, Second Edition

“Richard Moreno knows Reno is the main character in its own adventure story. His A Short History of Reno, Second Edition updates and expands upon Barbara and Myrick Land’s landmark 1995 work. It’s a concise yet lively and richly illustrated tale that traces the Biggest Little City’s evolution from meadow to metropolis.” —Frank Mullen Jr., author of The Donner Party Chronicles: A Day-by-Day Account of a Doomed Wagon Train, 1846–47

“Reno has always been a small town where big things happen, and Richard Moreno expertly packs an incredible amount of history into a small amount of space in telling the big events that shaped the Biggest Little City in the World.” —Guy Clifton, author of You Know You’re a Nevadan If . . .

“Richard Moreno is an outstanding researcher and author. I admire his writing style, and this completely updated and expanded edition of A Short History of Reno will be my first resource when investigating the history of my hometown.” —Patricia Cafferata, author of Christmas in Nevada
