Reno, Nevada, has had an unconventional past. Nevada has sometimes
been behind the times and sometimes ahead of them in defying
conventional morality. The politicians who prevailed were
consistently those who spurned hypocrisy and kept the economy
strong by allowing activities that were illegal elsewhere:
prizefighting, gambling, uncontested divorce. Reno, the largest
city in the state until the late 1950s, took advantage of the lax
political environment to become an urban playground. But Reno was
also the home of ordinary people—merchants, railroad workers,
university students and professors, families. The city’s two
cultures rarely intersected. With a selection of fine
historic images from her best-selling book, Historic Photos of
Reno, Donnelyn Curtis provides a valuable and revealing historical
retrospective on the growth and development of Reno. Remembering
Reno captures the flavor of both sides of the city’s personality.
Included are images of the businesses, the buildings, and the main
events that marked the rise of the “Biggest Little City in the
World.” Some of the photographs also capture the beauty of the
natural environment in which Reno is situated. In stunning
black-and-white photography, this handsome book offers a compelling
look into Reno’s past that will appeal to newcomers and longtime
residents alike.
