Appendix slides; Text boxes; Handouts. You can prepare a detailed document to leave behind as a handout after your presentation. Rather than inundating your audience with all the minutiae of your topic in your slides (i.e., charts, tables, diagrams, etc.), you can focus your PowerPoint presentation on the most salient points.
Nevada Admitted to Union, 1864. Nevada was admitted to the Union, October 31, 1864, being the thirty-sixth in the sisterhood of States. In area she comprises an imperial domain, being almost as large as England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales combined.
An Act of Congress created the Territory of Nevada on March 2, 1861. James W. Nye of New York was appointed Nevada's first Territorial Governor by President Abraham Lincoln later that year. On October 31, 1864, President Lincoln proclaimed Nevada's admission to the Union as the 36th state. The State's first elected Governor, Henry Blasdel, took office on December 5, 1864. Today, Nevada is the nation's seventh largest state in land area. Several hundred mountain ranges cross its landscape, many with elevations over 10,000 feet.
