Description: Mention ghost towns and the far West comes immediately to mind.  Therefore, it may be a surprise to some that a whole book has been written about the Ghost Towns of Southern Illinois. But remember, Illinois was West at one time, and Ghost Towns do abound, although sometimes completely covered over with brush or sometimes completely obliterated except in scanty records.
In Ghost Towns of Southern Illinois you will find the early railroad mining towns, the stagecoach stations, and country post offices that have been all but forgotten. Whether you're a treasure hunter, a history buff or someone seeking their Southern Illinois "Roots" , you should find this book invaluable for your quest.
