Description ▲

Banker, hotel owner, and political powerhouse George Wingfield (1876-1959) was one of the most significant figures in Nevadaâ€™s history. He was the prime force behind the start-up of its tourism and gambling industries. Raymondâ€™s biography details every step of his remarkable climb to power, his staggering fall into bankruptcy, and a phoenix-like rise with a second fortune in gold mining.Â
