HISTORY

If you want to know how Nevada came into its own during the 20th century, U.S. Highway 95 is a great place to start. That state's longest road, running from the Oregon border to its southern tip, is also its richest. Hence, the name Bonanza Highway. A tour of U.S. 95 will take you through fertile lands watered by the Newlands Reclamation Act near Fallon, down past the old boomtowns of Tonopah and Goldfield, then on to Las Vegas and the Hoover Dam. Bonanza Highway: U.S. 95, Nevada's Road to Riches, is the fifth volume in Stephen H. Provost’s Highways of the West series, illustrated more than 550 contemporary and historical images. And there certainly is plenty to see.

But when he lands in 1790, on the wrong side of the French Revolution, Andrew realizes this is no dream. He is not time traveling. He is reliving his own past lives.
