Brief Political History of Nevada

This video recounts the history of Nevada. It begins with the first people that made the state their home. Continues through the various explorers that surveyed the state and how mining brought a population boom to the state. It talks about why it gained statehood despite a tiny population and how it transformed itself into a gambling mecca and a place where one could go find one's American dream.

We need more videos like this! Videos on the broad history of Nevada are hard to come by and this segment covered tons of useful information.

And for everybody out there it's pronounced Nevada with a soft a sound as in 'dad' not a soft o sound as in the word father!

Genoa and Dayton still argue over who was first.

Fantastic video, despite the butchering of “Ely”, “Tonopah”, and “NEVADA” itself 🤦🏼‍♂️🤣

[SurvivorPrepper]

You already started this video off by mispronouncing the name of this state. Ha ha😂
