Elko-September 5, 2001
MS. TICE: Good evening from Elko. I'm Catherine Tice, the meeting moderator here tonight. We have three commentors on deck. We'll start with Dana Cassadore. The next commentor will be Joe Carruthers. And if we have time, we'll be going to Lois Whitney. DANA CASSADORE: My name is Dana Cassadore. I'm a Shoshone Indian. Thomas Pinchon wrote a Screaming Comes Across the Sky. This really reminds me of Yucca Mountain. But as I see it, Yucca Mountain is just a bad idea all around. You know, a moronic idea that comes from Washington but, you know, that's a surprise.

You know what, welcome to the world of the Indian, man. F ... [Read More]

On December 29, 1868, representatives of the Central Pacific Railroad started laying out lots for the future town of Elko. By 1870, the thriving town had 5,000 people. There was an immense volume of freight and passenger traffic over the stageline roads north and south from the railhead at Elko to the mining area. ...

By the early 1870's, Elko became the marketing and economic center for northeastern Nevada's vast range livestock empire. In the 1870's and 1880's, great ranching principalities were built on Elko County's vast rangelands. These ranches were ruled over, absolutely, by such powerful and colorful cattle kings as L.R. "Broadhorns" Bradley, Nevada's second Governor and its first "cowboy" Governor; the French Garat family, Spanish Altubes, and John Sparks, Governor of Nevada in the early years of this century. ...
