Cal-Nevada mining ghosts,
By Bomojaz (South Central PA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ghost and shadow towns of the glory road;: A photographic quest, (Hardcover)
This is a book of photographs taken by author Thomas Moore of various ghost and near-ghost towns of the Nevada/California goldfields (roughly Reno to Death Valley). A so-so map shows where the towns are located. Moore gives a brief history of each town and then presents photos of what remnants he found there; it's probably safe to say that many of the ruins shown in these pre-1970 photos are gone by now. But there's something majestic in these forlorn crumbling structures and empty, wind-blown buildings and shacks that were once familiar sights to thousands of busy miners. One must consult other books, however, to get decent instructions on how to see these ghosts for oneself (Paher's "Ghost Town Atlases of Nevada" are good sources for this). It's a good book for those who are planning to visit any of these old sights: what might these old towns look like today compared to just 40 years ago?
