Wonderful journey back in history,
By Kenneth Graczyk (Buena Vista, Colorado United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ghost Towns, Colorado Style: Northern Region (Paperback)
This is going to be in the "Reference Section" at your local library years from now. This one goes into detail about the lost communities of Colorado boom and bust past. Read this one, and you will want the other volumes in this series. Don't put this on your wish list - get it - you won't regret it.

Ghost Towns, Colorado Style,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Ghost Towns, Colorado Style: Northern Region (Paperback)
I am a serious amateur photographer specializing in travel and wildlife photography. One of my photographic passions is photographing ghost towns particularly since I know that they are disappearing and my photos preserve some of this history. This series of 3 books is my favorite reference for Colorado Ghost Towns.
