Nevada Yesterdays: Short Looks at Las Vegas History - Hardcover
For 18 years, Las Vegans have enjoyed small helpings of their own rich history, served up by public radio station KNPR. Hearing well-told tales of characters with names like "Whiskey Pete," and the comic-opera romance between a famous female evangelist and a boyfriend called "Whataman," many a listener has wished for a transcript. This book fulfills that wish, presenting more than 100 selected mostly by the program's original author, historian Frank Wright. Wright mined the pits and pockets of local lore for nuggets little-known to the public, misunderstood by most, or merely enough fun to be worth telling once more.

About the Author:
For 25 years, Frank Wright was the recognized authority on the events that shaped Las Vegas. After an early career as a political science professor, Wright worked in the legendary Binion's Horseshoe Casino before finding his calling as a historian in 1975. He retired in 2002 and began working on this book, which was finished by his widow, Dorothy Wright.
