The Biggest Murder in the Biggest Little City:
A Historical Fiction Walking Tour
The assignment was to create a walking tour aided by no visuals or guides, but solely by spoken instruction. Given my enjoyment of creative writing, I decided to make an enticing story rather than a factual narrative, or museum like walking tour. After finding a map of the city of Reno from 1907, I worked out the present-day locations of the sites marked on said map and what resides there today. While the story is fictitious, there is basis in history, making it a historical fiction short story. All references to historical sites and historical persons are accurate, while their relation to the characters of the story might not be.
Enjoy.
