All Roads Lead to Battle Mountain:
A small town in the heart of Nevada 1869-1969
by Dana R. Bennett
The town of Battle Mountain began as a railroad station in 1869 and quickly developed into a hospitable stop for transcontinental railroad and highway travelers and an important supply hub for mining camps and ranchers in horth-central Nevada. This book chronicles the first one hundred years of that development, remebering the many people who shaped this enduring community. One of Nevada's most resilient towns, Battle Mountain is woven tightly in a prominent place in the state's historical tapestry.
For those of you who purchased a copy last time, now would be a good time to reacquaint yourselves with the history of the area.
