When I ordered it I had origninally thought it would be mainly about ghost towns of OK and stories about them. Unforuntately I was wrong. True this book includes a few stories on ghost towns, but for each story, the tale of the town is maybe a page or a half page while the beginning of the "story" tells mostly about the famous events or birthplaces of famous people or whatever else about every nearby town or historical landmark just telling you where the town is located.

If you want to hear about famous places and landmarks of Oklahoma, that happen to be nearby the old ghost towns, this is the book for you, if you're looking for actual tales of ghost towns, you might look elsewhere.

This is worth the money- certainly not great, but moderately entertaining. A collection of short stories which seem to be arranged in chronological order- I would rather they'd been grouped by location in the state. This book won't take long to finish, and you won't be sorry to be done.

This book seemed to be a book I normally wouldn't read but I.really enjoyed this book. It had a lot of interesting true facts & places. Same author "Jim Etter" also has a book called "Thunder in the Heartland" & that is fiction based on true facts & events. Great book too!!!
