Editorial Reviews
Product Description
This book is a return to Montana's past through images of its ghost towns and stories of the people and events that shaped them. Profiles of approximately 39 ghost towns that still exist on the landscape are included.
From the Back Cover
Wind whistles through an abandoned mine shaft.
A loose door knocks in the breeze. Cattle feed past the tilted skeleton of a barn.
Underneath, if you listen hard enough, you can hear the faint sounds of a tin pan piano, the crack of a miner’s hammer against stone, the distant giggle of dancehall girls. Peppered throughout Montana, the remains of a bygone age stand weathering in slowly fading bits and pieces. Read about Castle Town, once home to more than 1,500 miners and families, now a sparse scattering of cabins and frame shacks. Explore Garnet, named after a semiprecious stone, abandoned after more than $10 million in gold was taken from the surrounding mines. And browse the beehive-shaped charcoal kilns of Glendale, southwest of Butte.
