“It Was Nevada” by Dr. Tony Lesperance

Dr. Tony Lesperance, a staunch supporter of Nevada’s agricultural legacy, published his great work, It Was Nevada. This intriguing story follows Terry Hope, a determined guy whose ambitions of working on a Nevada cattle ranch lead him down a path of unforeseen twists and turns that eventually place him in the center of Nevada’s agricultural war for survival.

This book tells hard-hitting story that blends historical accuracy with fiction, following Hope from his earliest days, through his academic rise at the University of Nevada, and into the political maelstrom threatening the state’s number one industry, agriculture. The book is not just a story of one man’s ambitions but also a complex perspective on Nevada’s changing terrain as it changes from a mostly rural state to a developing urban center.

Dr. Tony creates an intense narrative that goes into the hard facts of Nevada’s agricultural issues, including the pernicious effects of dirty politics, federal interference, and other questionable forces at work. Readers follow Hope’s journey and his close Basque friend, Peio “Pete” Echegoyen, as they observe the effort to maintain and preserve Nevada’s agricultural heritage.

Hope’s persistent ambition pushes him to persuade the dean of agriculture at the University of Nevada to purchase a running cow ranch, a desperate move to save Nevada’s livestock sector. However, as the novel progresses, readers are confronted with the high cost borne by Hope and the larger agricultural community.

It Was Nevada is a wild, emotional ride that not only emphasizes the accomplishments and tribulations of Nevada’s agricultural heritage, but also digs into some of the state’s more renowned and immoral aspects. The story offers a new viewpoint on Nevada’s historical evolution, pushing readers to draw the line between fact and fiction.

With its compelling characters, rich historical backdrop, and intense plot, the book is set to captivate readers who have an interest in the American West, political intrigue, and stories of resilience and passion.
