Well, I had a nice little page here with all the books I reference with links to Amazon
so you could purchase them, and Amazon made a change and screwed it up.
With the miniscule amount of profit we made it's not worth our time to set it all up again.
For some reason , the Hugh Shamberger section survived.
If you're curious as to the other books we use, you can observe the Forgotten Nevada Library
by clicking on this link.

Special thanks to Former Fallon Mayor Merton Domonoske for writing his book on Bernice, inspiring us to go exploring, Dr. William Davis, PhD (R.I.P.) for pointing us in the right direction, Jane Pieplow and Bunny Corkill and the Churchill County Museum for sending me the CD of photos and letting me paw through their stuff, Luis for convincing me to sell the stupid BMW and buy the Arctic Cat. And thanks to Bill Harpole (R.I.P.) from Portland just because.
Born in Idaho in 1900, Hugh A. Shamberger, graduated from Stanford University with an engineering degree and worked at surveying and engineering jobs in California, arriving in Nevada early in 1929. Shamberger began a new phase of his career, working at mining and engineering in the developing community of Las Vegas. He then entered the state service, first in the State Highway Department, and then in the office of the State Engineer. While in this office Shamberger pioneered several techniques of studying the water resources of his adopted state, and wrote of his researches in several monographs that are widely used.
