Railroads of Nevada & Eastern California Vol. 1 - Myrick 1963 2nd Pr. Hardcover

Description

"Railroads of Nevada and Eastern California - Vol. 1: The Northern Roads" is David Myrick's extensive and detailed history of the railroads in the mostly high desert areas of these states.  It is a very complete work with much information on the formation, operation and abandonment of the various lines (see Photos #4, #5, #6 and #7 for the Table of Contents).  He has included many b/w photos as well as detail maps, timetables and other illustrations.  This 453-page, quarto-size hardcover book was published in 1963 by Howell-North Books as the stated second printing of their 1962 original issue.  The book is in very good condition with no damage - no dog-eared pages, no text markings and no jammed corners.  The dust jacket is in good condition with no serious damage - small chips and tears as well as some edge wear (see Photos #1 and #12).  There is a 17" by 22" highly-detailed map of the area in a rear pocket.
Laid-in is a brochure about Brodie
