TRAVELS THE BACK ROADS
BY NELL MURBARGER
Gracious hostess that she is, Nevada turns upon every visitor a smiling
face . . . but, to us, she crooks a beckoning finger and says, in effect,
"Come, wander with me! Come into my back country and I'll show you
my treasures. I may even tell you a few of my secrets . . . "
Sparkling streams of pure cold water, fed by snow-
fields on the higher levels, go dancing down the
canyons, cascading whitely, boiling around great
boulders, licking the roots of giant trees. Here
mountain trout flash and turn, the soft-footed
creatures of the wild come to drink, and columbine
hangs its fairy lanterns. In their descent from
mountain summit to valley, some of these snow-
born streams combine to form the wide, blue lakes
of Pyramid and Walker and the jewel-bright lakes
of the Rubies. Other streams and rivers combine
to fill the man-made reservoirs of Lakes Mead,
Mohave, Lahontan, Wild Horse, Rye Patch, each
offering good fishing and the summertime fun of
boating and swimming.

Other delvers-into-the-past find food for dreams in the state's old Army camps, Pony Express
stations, stage stations. All these are places where history was made, where hoofs came galloping
out of the night and away, and courageous men gave their all to win and hold a frontier land.
To anyone with a feeling for days agone, every pioneer
graveyard in Nevada holds much of interest. In these
desert versions of God's Acre, beneath weathered
crosses and simple wooden slabs, sleep the nameless
dead of the Silver State's youth—the heros and harlots,
the slayer and the slain, awaiting together the Day of
Judgement.
What is more fascinating than a crumb-
ling wall discovered in some deep canyon
far from any highway or present habita-
tion Who cut these stones, and when?
Who hewed these stout timbers? Who
laid these sills, who framed these win-
dows? Questions that any thinking person
might ask . . . questions no living man
can answer.

NEVHDR
It won't be just the trappings of the past — the cus-
toms and costumes, the old facades, the oxen-drawn
wagon trains and the flying feet of the Pony Express —
that will live again in Nevada during the state's Cen-
tennial Celebration in 1964. The very spirit of the pio-
neers is stirring again.
January 1964 will set off a year-round explosion of
Centennial events. Nevadans are going to re-ride the
routes of the Pony Express, roll the Wagon Trains,
restore the old false fronts of their towns and cities,
wear the dress and fashions of long ago, and re-learn
the skills of the hard rock miners and cowboys.
And they're inviting the people of the world to come
to see what has made, and still is making, Nevada.
These are early listings and subject to change. For current infor-
mation contact offices of the Nevada State Commission, State Building,
Room 12, Virginia at Mill Streets, Reno, Nevada or Chamber of Com-
