Shepherd, Henry S.
Henry Shepherd was born and raised on a plantation in Tallulah, Louisiana, where the primary crops were peanuts and corn. When he moved to Las Vegas, Nevada in 1967, he worked as a bartender at the Sands Hotel. Shepherd was able to send his daughter to college because he was working for the Culinary Workers Union Local 226. Leaving the Sands Hotel, he went to the Landmark Hotel and Casino, and then went to Circus Circus Hotel. The Luxor Hotel and Casino was his final stop in a bartending career that spanned over three decades.

Description
Horse drawn stage leaving Tonopah for Manhattan, circa 1905. There was an inscription on the image. "The coaches were the primary mode of passenger transportation between central Nevada's early mining camps. They were eventually replaced by railroads which built into Rhyolite, Goldfield, Tonopah, and Blair, but served the area's smaller satellite camps until the mid-1910's when the automobile took their place. The photo was reproduced from an original 1905 colored postcard."
