This oversized paperback describes about 40 ghost towns located in the western mountain region of Montana. Rather long historical accounts of each place are included, along with many illustrations and photos. Although this paperback issue came out in 1981, it is the same as the original edition of 1974; most of the contemporary photos of these ghosts, most taken by Miller, since they are already over 30 years old, might indicate relics that have disappeared since then.

One major fault of the book is the absence of maps; only one appears (on the back cover) and it's not very useful. A second fault is that Miller rarely tells you exactly where these towns were located; anyone actually in the field interested in going to these spots would not get much help from Miller's book. Therefore, I have to say the book seems more for those armchair explorers who wouldn't be interested in visiting the ghost towns discussed. The book is interesting in its historical accounts, but not a good guide for the hands-on enthusiast.

This product arrived very quickly and was in better shape than I had hoped. Thank you for providing a great product and such quick delivery!
