The Rocky Mountain and Great Basin states are the heart of ghost-town country. Once-bustling pioneer outposts, mining camps, lumber towns, and railroad villages stand today as reminders of the glory days of gold rushes, industrial progress, and that pioneering spirit of the Old West. This book guides readers to the fascinating and scenic ghost towns of Colorado, Wyoming, Idaho, Montana, Utah, and Nevada. Varney highlights popular tourist destinations as well as out-of-the-way spots unfamiliar even to natives of the region. Maps, historical background, and stunning color photographs bring to life dozens of ghost towns and provide practical information for exploring this fascinating chapter of American history.

Author Kurt James over the years has complied a vast knowledge of the state of Wyoming. Wyoming was nicknamed the "Equality State" or as some like to call it the "Cowboy State." In the beginning, he used these historical and fun facts to be weaved into his fictional adventure stories of forever blue skies and dusty frontiers, bringing authenticity to his novels. Recently Kurt James fan base has been asking for him to make available his research in book form so they can even learn more about Wyoming. This book is the effort of many years of study, investigation, and exploring the Rocky Mountains, ghost towns, and long forgotten cemeteries. Kurt James has also held countless interviews with many of those quoted within these pages. Many of the photographs and artwork used in this book are Kurt James originals. This book is the companion of any writer that needs information about Wyoming for their writing needs. It is also Kurt's hope that those that love the tales of yesteryear will use this book as part of the research for their day trips or vacations to the ghost towns and haunts mentioned in the book.

An unsentimental vision of the west, new and old, comes to life in a gritty new collection of stories by the author of Snow, Ashes In Ghosts of Wyoming, Alyson Hagy explores the hardscrabble lives and terrain of America's least-populous state. Beyond the tourist destinations of Jackson Hole and Yellowstone lies a less familiar and wilder frontier defined by the tension wrought by abundance and scarcity. A young runaway with a big secret slips across the state border and steals a collie pup from the Meeker County fairgrounds. A chorus of trainmen details a day spent laying rail across the Wyoming Territory, while contemporary voices describe life in the oil and gas fields near Gillette. A traveling preacher is caught up in a deadly skirmish between cattle rustlers and ranchers on his way from Rawlins to the Indian reservation on the Popo Agie River. Locals and activists clash when a tourist makes an archaeological discovery near Hoodoo Mountain. With spirited, lyrical prose, Hagy expertly weaves together Wyoming's colorful pioneer and speculator history with the notoften- heard voices of petroleum workers, thrill-seeking rock climbers, and those left behind by the latest boom and bust.
