Rod Poitra is used to weird stuff. Hes a pipe-carrier: weird goes with the calling. His lady is a practicing Witch: weird is part of the relationship. Two of his best friends are Derrick Lashan and Sebastian Strange: Those two redefine weird just by breathing. But uncovering the truth about his unofficial granddaughters puppy, may be a little too weird, even for Rod.
The last time Rod Poitra saw his old friend, the mage Derrick Lashan, Lashan was, literally, insane. As in, tied-to-the-bed, screaming crazy. So, when Lashan shows up on Rod’s doorstep two years later, the former pipe-carrier is just happy Lashan knows his own name. But then Rod gets a visit from the otherworldly being Sebastian Strange, who warns Rod that Lashan isn’t nearly as together as he seems. Can an emotionally-burned-out pipe-carrier stop Lashan from destroying himself and everyone else on the res? The things you do for your friends!
A fun and informative exploration of how the classic television series Bonanza differs from the reality of Virginia City, Nevada. In 1959, one hundred years after the big bonanza silver strike in Virginia City, the classic television series Bonanza made its debut and brought the small Nevada city to the forefront of households around the country, and into many parts of the world. The richest city in the world at the time of the Comstock Lode, Virginia City today might well be a ghost town if not for the fame spurred by Bonanza.The show was so popular that it went on to air for thirteen years and even spawned a theme park. Historical accuracy was of great import to Bonanza’s creator, but as the series evolved, it took on a life of its own beyond the boundaries of real-life Virginia City. In Virginia City vs Bonanza: A Tale of Merging Histories, Monette Bebow-Reinhard explores select history from the show’s legendary storylines and compares it to the real history of nineteenth-century Virginia City. Readers will learn why gambling is so prominent in Nevada, how Virginia City was not necessarily developed as a cattle town, and much more, ultimately understanding how and where Bonanza got its history right. Through her analysis of history versus fiction, Bebow-Reinhard emphasizes the impact television had on shaping how we remember the Old West. From the beginnings on Sun Mountain to the new technology created for Virginia City’s mines to keep up with the demands of the labor force—hungry for more wealth—Virginia City vs Bonanza examines the politics, the environmental damage, and the social and cultural settings that made Virginia City unique. Readers will witness it all: silver’s inevitable collapse, the advent of tourism, the natives, the diversity, the violence, and today, the fun. A must-read for fans of televisionand history alike.
