This is the story of the Indian people who were living in the western part of Nevada when the thin line of prospectors and pioneers crossed their land in 1849 enroute to the riches of California. This is the story of the way people survived using only tools made from the bone, sinew, and hides of animals, from the fibers and stems of plants, and from the stones of the desert. This is a 8 1/2" x 11" paperback book.
