Produktbeschreibung
This book brings New Mexico's rich history of ghost towns forward into the twenty-first century. Over a eleven-year period, the authors traveled to and photographed all of these towns. Since then, some have already changed or have become completely inaccessible. If you wish to visit them, go now.Ghost towns are not necessarily deserted. However, all have lost the main economic reason they were established. These changes s include mineral depletion, new roadways, new modes of transportation, World Wars I & II, and new government regulations.The authors are photographers, not writers or historians. As a result, this book is profusely illustrated with photographs. With very few exceptions, the pictures were taken by the authors.While researching this book, the authors discovered several interesting facts, including: an small, but expensive error in the Texas-New Mexico border; a nearly forgotten murder in Hillsboro; and the last train robbery in the state.
