![]() ![]() Review: I own a copy of this gem published in 1978. The hand-drawn maps and photos of so many ghost towns you've never heard of, plus all the ones you HAVE heard of, make this book super valuable to the serious ghost town explorer. If you own only one Nevada Ghost Town book, this should be it. Thanks Mr. Broman! ![]() |
