Las Vegas Then and Now Through a Reporter’s Eye
Judge Henderson and the reporter visited Las Vegas, Nevada, last weekend and noted dramatic changes over 27 years. The piece recalls early Salt Lake Railroad plans, Caliente and Pioche ore shipments, Ladd the stage driver, the Age newspaper in Regtown, and pioneer figures like Mayor Bill Hawkins and Sam Gay. It also laments St Thomas flooding for Boulder Dam, previews a race track, and praises the growth of a bustling city with two papers, the Age and the Review, as Barstow hosts visitors.
