History Presentation - "Mystery, Money and Maelstrom…Reno’s LaVere Redfield"

LaVere Redfield was an interesting character: a keen investor in the stock market and real estate; anti-government (especially the IRS); a ruthless businessman; a man who didn’t trust banks; a high-stakes gambler; a philanderer; a victim of at least two high-profile robberies; a man who hated to have his photo taken and a notorious hoarder. Using extensive research, local historians David & Gayle Woodruff examine the unusual and quirky story of one of Reno’s least known and eccentric “public” figures, in a 55-minute slide show.
