Description: Ghost Towns of Arizona by James E. and Barbara H. Sherman 1978 9th printing PB WITH MAP! Arizona's ghost towns exemplify man's courage, tenacity, and perhaps even foolishness in his search for wealth. Inevitable by-products of the development of gold, silver, copper, and other mineral deposits in Arizona, some of these communities mushroomed overnight into a hodgepodge of tents and makeshift homes, while others developed over a period of years into tidy, well-planned townsites. Whatever their design, intent, or purpose, when their existence was no longer profitable they slipped into the category of ghost towns. Town entries are arranged alphabetically for ease of selection. More than 450 photographs illustrate the past and the contemporary condition of these communities. Ten excellent maps and accurate township, range, and section coordinates locate each settlement. Vacationers, ghost-town buffs, and armchair adventurers as well as serious historians can take a real or imagined trip to Arizona’s past with this book in hand. ALWAYS accepting reasonable offers!
