The Mining Camps Speak: A New Way to Explore the Ghost Towns of the American West Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have used this book with great success in my Colorado history classes and I recommend it to anyone with an interest in mining history and the Rocky Mountain West. Other books tell you where the "ghost towns" are located, but this book is unique in helping you understand what you are seeing when you get there. Their chapter on tin can dating alone is worth the price of the book. The research here is incredible and the photographs very clear. Take this along on your next trip into the mountains.
