A bloody palm print, footprints of monster men, the nation's first legal lethal gas chamber--all of this and more are at the heart of the Nevada State Prison story. Founded in 1862, before Nevada was "battle born," the prison is the oldest continuously operated penal facility in the state. Over its 150-year history, the prison has been home to some of Nevada's most notorious criminals as well as some of the state's stranger events. Fossilized footprints of a "giant race of man" were found buried deep within the prison quarry. The prints gave rise to the infamous Homo Nevadensis, a supposed lost branch of the human evolutionary tree. On the more macabre side, the prison hosted the nation's first state-sanctioned execution by lethal gas. While dutifully and vigilantly serving its penal function, the Nevada State Prison has periodically garnered international attention and amassed a history worthy of study.
In 1991, Doris McCannon met Harold "Pete" Guyette, a man released in 1972 on a Writ of Habeas Corpus. Three years later, their travels led to the discovery of new & suppressed evidence showing how he was convicted for a crime in Nevada he did not commit. This book tells the story of Pete's early childhood to the day he was delivered, a convicted man, to the gates of the Nevada State Prison at the age of nineteen. It was April 1, 1966, April Fool's Day, in Elkhart, Indiana when Pete was arrested on a year old traffic warrant, & taken to jail, only to be questioned about a double murder that had occurred on March 12, 1966 in Fallon, Nevada. Pete thought it was a joke! This is the first of three books detailing what the Nevada & Indiana officials did to fabricate evidence, because there was no evidence linking him to the crime scene. Presently, a lawsuit is pending in the Reno Federal Court, documenting the contents of the book. Order from "A Last Chance Publisher", P.O. Box 279, Pleasant Garden, NC 27313, Tel. 800-990-9502.
