Ghosts and Legends of Nevada's Highway 50

by Janice Oberding

The 287-mile stretch of highway that runs east to west across Nevada's desert is billed as the "Loneliest Road in America." But those who explore it find there is plenty to discover along the way in the towns of Austin, Eureka, Ely, Fallon and Fernley. Every one of these places has its own unique history, ghosts and stories to tell. From the sordid lynching of Richard Jennings to the humorous legend about a famous sack of flour, author Janice Oberding treks across Highway 50 seeking spirits and uncovering the tales of Singing Sand Mountain, the Red-Headed Giants, the Giroux Mine Disaster and many more.

Nevada is one of my favorite places to travel to. I have been down this particular road many times and love each and every time I have traveled down it. I have many good memories and when I think about this particular stretch of highway I can't help but smile. Add that to my love for ghost stories and any type of legends, this book is the perfect fit for me. It will stay on my shelf and I foresee me grabbing it from time to time and just looking through it and remembering all the good travels along it, and enjoy the history and ghostly tales of this highway.
