 THE
WALTIS and OTHER EARLY SETTLERS of Eureka and Lander
County, Nevada Author: Dale E. Wooley
All
copies of this 336 page literary gem are beautiful Gold
Trimmed Mahogany colored Hardbacks, with dozens of
historical photographs, a fold out 18" by 23"
double-sided map, and are individually signed by the
author.
This
historical book follows the true life story of the Walti
family, and many others through their immigration to the
Eureka area, their lives in their newly adopted country,
and the towns, ranches, and legends that they built.
It is far more than a simple picture of a frontier
family, indeed, it is more likened to a history of the
entire region made personal through the true life
families it follows. Many of the descendents of
the families mentioned in this book still live in the
region, and much of the material for a basis for this
book came from their ancestors and the Eureka Sentinel
newspaper, in addition to other sources listed in the
bibliography.
This
masterfully researched book is a history of the
immigrants and pioneers of the Eureka area, their
trials, hardships, and triumphs. Several legends
are explored, with dozens of old photographs to document
them, including the rise of the Curly Horse, the tunnels
under Eureka, and the Charcoal Burner's Massacre.
Reading this book brings one back to those years when
the frontier was a sea of sage waiting to be explored,
it gives the true measure of life on the ranches and in
the towns of this area of America that even in the 21st
century retains the isolation and majesty of the
frontier.
