SUMMARY:Nevada Historical Society presents High Noon with Neal Cobb:  The Origin and Evolution of the Basque Hotel with Dr. Michael E. Fischer
DESCRIPTION:High Noon: Shootout with Neal Cobb is a wonderful history 
 series that delves into fascinating Nevada topics with local experts. Neal 
 Cobb is a passionate historian and honorary curator for the Nevada 
 Historical Society. He loves all things Nevada.  Join Neal Cobb and our 
 monthly speaker as we explore interesting topics and join in the audience 
 conversations.\n\nLearn more about the origin and evolution of the Basque 
 Hotel in Nevada with Dr. Michael E. Fischer. Probably most of us have eaten 
 in a Basque restaurant and perhaps sipped a Picon Punch before the meal. 
 Most of these restaurants were hotels serving the boarders meals 
 family-style long before they started serving meals to the public as 
 restaurants. This program shows the necessity for these hotels\, their 
 evolution from a basic boarding house to a retirement home\, and why the 
 properties were a welcome respite for the lonely Basque herder who often 
 did not speak English and had only a rudimentary 
 education.\n\nBiography:\nFischer was raised and educated in Reno public 
 schools and earned a Bachelor of Science degree from the University of 
 Nevada\, Reno\, and a Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from the University 
 of Southern California. After working in private practice for 31 years\, 
 Fischer retired from dentistry and was appointed\, serving in both Gov. 
 Gibbons’ and Gov. Sandoval’s cabinet until the Department of 
 Cultural\nAffairs was formally disbanded. He is now an independent scholar 
 whose interests include the history of Nevada cowboys and ranching\, 
 politics\, bootlegging\, gambling\, and crime.\n\nAll of our virtual events 
 are shared on Facebook\, and are archived on the Library website\, and 
 YouTube. \n\nThis event is part of a series. Registration is for this event
