Illustrated by Darcie Park
From the manmade glitter of the Las Vegas strip to the natural
splendor of Lake Tahoe, Nevada's riches go beyond the silver and
gold found in Virginia City. "S is for Silver "showcases the hardy
wildlife (the Desert Bighorn Sheep and the desert tortoise) and
even hardier pioneers (the builders of the Hoover Dam) who shaped
Nevada's landscape and character.
