Using a mix of textual evidence and photos the author has us revist the old ghost towns of the west. I believe the Author’s intention is to give information about the time and place thru a lens of history, allowing for a context in which we can both o repaint and recount the reasons why those who settled in the west and their intentions but also understand what the life in these little ghost towns were and what legacy the left.

Great photographs, text. I love it.
