Pershing County: 100 Years
In celebration of the centennial anniversary of Nevada's Pershing County, in a fine hardbound edition with dust jacket, locals Klos, Davidson, Tors, and Quilici supply the county's histories, little known and of great importance to the state of Nevada and the whole American west, through narrative, photography, and watercolor painting.
Deanne Munk Davidson is a third generation Nevadan and has lived most of her life in Pershing County. She grew up on the Munk Bros. Ranch, presently the List Ranch, and later lived on her family owned Ruddell Ranch, the ranch property established by George Lovelock. Deanne is an educator and enjoys photography in her retirement.
Pat Ferraro Klos is a third-generation Nevadan with roots in seven northern Nevada counties. She is an historian, writer, educator, and historic preservationist who lived for many years in Lovelock. She lives in Reno.
