Customer Reviews

Excellent book and Seller!

This book was rated as used...I could see NO signs that anyone had even opened it! I would have bought it at twice the price asked! The description was incredible, and I would buy from this seller again anytime!

Way off the beaten path

For anyone who loves the history and romance of the west, this is an outstanding book that will help you understand more about the where & when of boomtowns in the OLD & the NEW west. It was mining that drove development in the western United States not the cowboy. The products of Nevada's mines was what held together the North during the Civil War, and it helped to sustain development of the west and the United States after the war.Get lost with this book on a road trip through the dusty corners of Nevada! You will love it. A fairly exhaustive set of monographs on ghost towns in Nevada. Read the background material by Dan DeQuille, Mark Twain and others to get a bigger picture. Could make a great vacation theme with kids! Read them some of Twain's work!NO CELL PHONE OR SERVICE AT MANY SITES COME PREPPARED!

Very cool tabletop book

Lots of great old pictures. It covers all of Nevada so it is not very detailed on specific sites.

Very cool tabletop book

Lots of great pictures. Gave it 4 stars because information of ghost towns is not very detailed.

If you're serious about this stuff, buy the book.

This is it. The Gold Standard. After 28 years, nothing else out there comes close, not even his own Illustrated Atlas of same.
