Memorial addresses honoring George Stuart Nixon, late United States Senator from Nevada, delivered in the Senate and House of Representatives following his death in 1912. Born in Placer County, California, in 1860, Nixon worked as a telegraph operator before entering banking and becoming involved in Nevada's political and mining affairs. He was elected to the Nevada Legislature in 1891 and to the United States Senate in 1905, where he served until his death in 1912.

The volume brings together tributes from numerous members of Congress, recounting Nixon's career as a banker, businessman, mining entrepreneur, and public servant. The addresses discuss his involvement in Nevada's development, his association with George Wingfield in the Tonopah and Goldfield mining enterprises, his service on Senate committees, and his personal qualities as remembered by his colleagues and friends. The proceedings also include the formal Senate and House ceremonies and prayers held in his memory.
