Synopsis: A historian offers a ghoulish and ghostly tour of this legendary Nevada city—includes photos. The flashing neon lights of Reno harbor a ghastly past. With its wide-open gambling, divorce laws, and around-the-clock casinos and bars, the Biggest Little City in the World was a rough and wild town with a turbulent history. Victims of Priscilla Ford&’s Thanksgiving Day massacre haunt a downtown street. After a disappearance and death shrouded in mystery, the spirit of Roy Frisch still lingers near the location of George Wingfield's home. Lynched by a mob for a death that never happened, the angry ghost of Luis Ortiz still walks the bridge at night. In this book, Janice Oberding unearths the haunting history that put the &“sin&” in Nevada&’s original Sin City.
