Book Synopsis A History of Beatty, Nevada by : Robert D. McCracken
Book excerpt: "Of all the camps that appeared in the wake of the Rhyolite [mining] boom, the nearby community of Beatty was the only one to survive. Situated at the end of the Oasis Valley, Beatty had two assets the others lacked: plenty of water and easy accessibility....The changing role of mining in Beatty is traced as is tourism's steadily increasing importance. The history of Beatty is a story of hardworking, enterprising people building a community on America's desert frontier"--Bk. jacket.
