NEWSPAPER HEADLINES
NEVADA's NEWSPAPER INDEX
[Last update April 26, 2016 ]
Although Nevada didn’t have any actual Gore File Cases to call it’s own, as can be seen from the Headlines below, their newspapers made numerous mentions about those that did occur elsewhere. Something which given Nevada's unique standing (even back then), should make ones ears pick up. Why no local cases? In fact the whole situation is a bit reminiscent of those tales about the fairies. Oh, yes, fairies do exist, but they always seem to be just one camp fire down the road; Never here. Or in our case, yes, boys are grabbing axes and (while under the influence of Marihuana) chopping people to death. It's just that for some reason, it's not happening here, it's always one state down the road, . . . etc. But be that as it may, one thing is certain, Navada's newspapers did Harry Anslinger and his Reefer Madness campaign proud.

In addition, no pretense of any kind is made that this list is complete in any way shape or form. What is indexed below is simply what this museum was able to locate and that is that. HOWEVER, it does provide the reader as well as the historian, with a good starting point for future research on the subject. Last of all, BEWARE;/b> -- While every effort has been made at accuracy. Obviously, due to a merit of factors; MISTAKES, (spelling, dating, etc.) errors in all probability HAVE BEEN MADE. |
