(You'll read about towns with names like Skidoo and Bullfr...)
You'll read about towns with names like Skidoo and Bullfrog and Hell Gate and hear the bone-chilling stories of the men and weomen who left their homes to seek their fortunes in the harsh Yukon Territory. Because the sub-zero temperatures of the Klondike could easily kill you, the miners couldn't be lazy. Everything turned brittle in the cold. If the stove wasn't fired up, the ax, which out of necessity had to be stored nearby, could crack. If the metal cracked, the Klondiker couldn't cut more wood. And without more wood he'd most surely die. Included are more than one hundred full -color contemporary and black-and-white historical photographs that bring these ghost towns to life. Historical text, writings from historical societies, newspaper excerpts, amateur historians and ghost town bluffs all come together to present the human side of the western boom. Written by a ghost town enthusiast who has traveled the West in search of boom-and-bust towns. The Ghost Town Storyteller brings these tales of the old West to life.
