4.0 out of 5 stars A good overall view of life on the prairie., July 4, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Ghosts Of Colorado Plains (Paperback)

I found this to be a nice and not overly deep view of life on the Colorado plains. An area that is generally overlooked or forgotten today, the prairie played an important part in the settlemnet of the west and not much is left for us to learn from, and this book presented some obscure facts and tidbits of information that I found fascinating. As a history buff, I find it very interesting to see where man has been and may end up in the future.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent ghost town guide, October 13, 2005

This review is from: Ghosts of the Colorado Plains (Colorado's Neglected Ghosts Series, Vol 1) (Hardcover)

This is one of the classiest ghost town books I've seen. Eberhart writes about roughly 150 towns that were once in existence (most had post offices at one time), all located along the I-25 corridor or east of there on the high plains. He gives a thorough historical account of each place and includes a hand-drawn map of the town's location, making it easy to see where each was exactly (this important element is missing in many ghost town books). In addition, there are many dozens of photographs, some contemporary, some historical, of many of the places described. One of the best books on the subject I've seen. Great for the traveler/explorer as well as for the armchair historian.
