The History Guy takes up the subject of why Nevada is a state.



Nevada does have a strange history, and THG doesn't have time to include the oddities like when Nevada assumed that California wouldn't mind giving up parts of Lassen and Modoc Counties, and when the state carved out a county from Nye County that would have no residents (Bullfrog County) in order to collect money from the federal government related to the nuclear waste disposal site.

THG's video does include the story of The Most Expensive Telegram Of All Time.
