"The appearance of History of Nevada is a major event in Nevada historiography."—Richard C. Lillard, Nevada Historical Society Quarterly (Richard C. Lillard Nevada Historical Society Quarterly)

"Well-written, extensively documented and carefully indexed, [this work] is a valuable contribution for the study of a state too often mentioned only for gold and silver rushes, atomic bomb testing, or the opulent honky tonk of Las Vegas and its ilk."—Pacific Historian (Pacific Historian)
