Turn
This Water into Gold:
The Story of the Newlands ProjectSince John Townley
published the first edition of his book in 1977, much has happened regarding water issues
in this area. The Nevada Historical Society in Reno, the Churchill County Museum and the
Truckee-Carson Irrigation District in Fallon, Nevada, were anxious to see a new edition of
this book published that could update these issues and concerns to the present day.
Historian Susan A. James, who studies and writes about Nevada topics, edited portions of
Townley's original text and wrote two new chapters.
Today, this book remains the definitive history of the first reclamation project in the
United States and tells the story of the tremendous changes it brought to this rural area
of Western Nevada. |
