Bound in the original brown cloth, stamped in bright gold on the spine. From the dust jacket: "Compelling and informative, this novel is the story of a cattle ranch and its people in the Nevada wilderness long before the glitter of the state's gaming era. It focuses on the loves and hates, the triumphs and tragedies, of the Norman family from covered-wagon days to the Great Depression of the present [i.e. 20th] century. The patriarch of this family is Arthur Norman, a giant of a man whose vision of life helped tame a violent and lawless frontier. His love for his family and friends, his lands, his cattle and his horses was so strong that the shadow of his life hovered over his descendants in a lasting legacy. The story covers the gamut of human passions as the characters contend with each other, their harsh environment, and the historical events that brought the Old West into the mainstream of an evolving American culture. The discovery of gold in California, the emigrants, Indian disturbances, cattle drives, the Civil War, the first railroad, World War I, the Great Depression -- these are all here, woven into the lives of a family that developed a cattle kingdom where Indians and white men lived in peaceful coexistence despite the prejudices of their time. For those with a fascination for the history of the Old West or anyone who enjoys adventure and romance, THE TREBLE V: THE LEGACY OF A CATTLE BARON OF THE OLD WEST is a thrilling book.".

It was Felesky, a former longtime partner at Joyce & Associates Advertising, who created the "Dusty Mac" logo for McCarran International Airport's expansion [the image of a gold miner that appears wherever there is construction at the airport]. He and his wife, attorney Marilyn Romanelli, moved to Las Vegas in 1969, where she became a prominent family law attorney and served as Nevada's deputy attorney general in the early 1970s.
