Title: Ghost towns of the American West
First published: 1968
Description: The story of the American mining frontier can be traced in the ghost towns--from the camps of California's forty-niners to the twentieth-century ruins in the Nevada desert. They mark an epoch of high adventure, of qick wealth and quicker poverty, of gambling and gunslinging and hell-raising.
