Nevada achieved Statehood on October 31, 1864. This document prints, in addition to the daily debates and discussions, the Organic Act, the Enabling Act, the Governor's Proclamation calling for an election of delegates to the Constitutional Convention, a biographical chart of the delegates, and the Constitution that resulted. The suffrage was limited to white male citizens, after heated debate.
"The bulk of the volume caused considerable delay in printing; it was not published until long after Nevada was admitted as a State" [Eberstadt].
