Montana Mining Ghost Towns

Helena, Montana: Far Country Press, 2002. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Roland, Larry & Vivian. 104 oversized pages, including a glossary and an index, printed on very high quality paper. During four decades in the 19th century, Montana's mining ghost towns sprang up as sites of hope. Few get to see these remote places in person. In this volume we have 250 rich color photographs capturing landscapes, townsites, mining structures, stores, homes and other close-up details. In addition there are seventy-seven historical black & white photographs, newspaper clippings and anecodotal text that tell the stories of the thousands of hard-working people. There is a very minor bump on the lower outer corner of the book itself. Book and dust jacket are clean, fresh, tight and bright. A very nice copy indeed; available for immediate shipment.
