Two booklets making the desert appealing
1) The Heritage of the Desert by the Pioche Commercial Club. Nothing more than Pioche Mines Company propaganda! 2) Small booklet title "Nevada fifty years asleep AWAKEING in 1915." Least in population and wealth! First in Virgin Opportunities! That is what Charles Norcross would have you believe. Charles, State Commissioner of Industry, Agriculture and Irrigation during the administration of Governor Oddie, was born near Glendale, Washoe County, Nevada, November 6, 1866. He is a brother of Justice Norcross, of the Nevada Supreme Court, and a half-brother of George E. Peckham, a prominent rancher near Reno.City: County: State: NV
