After causing the California gold rush as a boy, and getting a printer's devil education in bustling San Francisco, young Quintus Hopper leaves for the wilderness across the Sierra Nevada mountains. From the moment he steps onto the land that will soon become the state of Nevada, he's home. He is, once and for all, Quintus Hopper of Nevada.

With his life inextricably tied to the devastating experiences of American Indians, typesetter Quintus Hopper journeys across Nevada, works for frontier newspapers and meets Paiute princess Sarah Winnemucca, famed writer Mark Twain, ghost dance prophet Wovoka, mother of Las Vegas Helen J. Stewart, supposed native American serial killer Queho, and many others. He is the man who tries to stop the Comstock Lode, who saves Mark Twain, who names the towns of Winnemucca and Searchlight - and without whom Las Vegas would not exist.

The life of Quintus Hopper is epic, peculiar and mystical and he spends it - often curiously guided by an old medicine woman - in search of meaning, reason and purpose. From the time of the gold and silver rushes and well into the 20th century, join Quintus and discover the true history of Nevada and maybe, just maybe, your own peace of heart and mind.
