May Bradford Shockley was the United States' first female surveyor: her letters detail life in Tonopah, Nevada in the early 1900s. her husband, mining engineer William Shockley, traveled the world, and his correspondence describes, among other places, life in and around Candelaria, Nevada in the 1880s. The collection also includes hundreds of early Nevada photographers, mining documents, and maps."
