In the mid- to late 19th century; nonnative populations first settled Fallon; Nevada; and the surrounding areas in Churchill County. Tracts of land were claimed from a desert floor; watered sporadically by the Carson River; which; in �good years;� flows abundantly through the region. Fallon can be seen as a palimpsest; having once exclusively been home to Native Americans and then becoming an overland crossroads. In the mid-1890s; Jim Richards established a store at the crossing and Mike Fallon opened a small post office nearby. Now referred to as the �Oasis of Nevada;� it is home to thousands. Lahontan Dam; completed in 1915; strengthened early agricultural roots and inspired rural dreams of verdant plenitude. Churchill County presently supports dairies and vineyards as well as farms and ranches. The city of Fallon has developed in significant ways; taking pride in its cultural life; schools; parks; businesses; and city-owned utility enterprises.

Im an artist; and I thought it was a very high quality drawing book with excellent examples and exercises. There are so many sub-par drawing How to draw animals books out there; and I thought this was head and shoulders above many. Recommended.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A little difficult for a beginnerBy kelly clementsThe book is really good for an artist with some understanding of the terminology of overall art and schetching. For a beginner with little background or none at all; a more in depth explanation of terminology at the beginning would have given this book a rating of five stars. Maybe the book is meant for those who already have a basic understanding of art; but for a beginner; some concepts are hard to grasp without more knowledge.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
