Remember Reno: A Biography of Major General Jesse Lee Reno

Rating:
Summary: A great book about a true American hero.
Review: Remember Reno is the true story of how one man's life can make a differance in history
It traces his life as a young man entering West Point
Surveying a road to the West
Going to war with Mexico
Writing the militaries artilliary manual
His duty as an armory comander and it's capture as one of the first actions of the Civil War
To his becomming General in charge of his own Division
His men loved him and he did well in all the battles he fought
He was shot by a lone snipers bullet while reviewing the front line
The city of Reno Nevada is named after him
Perhaps I am biased because He was my Great Uncle but if you would like to read about a true American Hero read it and then decide for yourself
I'm sure it will give you a new appreceation for the name of "The biggest little city in the world"
