This book describes ghost towns and mining camps of Arizona, New Mexico and Utah. According to the book's introduction: "What's left (of these ghost towns and mining camps) tells much of the American Southwest - the good and the bad, the strong and the weak, the admirable and the contemptible. What follows are facts and fairy tales selected roughly a century after it all began, of places and people - bullwhackers, saloon keepers, prospectors, undertakers, prostitutes, gamblers, blacksmiths, and other who coursed through the dusty streets of parched mining camps. ... The ghosts of Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah are scattered over more than 320,000 square miles of deserts, plains, and mountains. Bit is is hoped that incapturing something of what is still there of the better known of farflung sites, it is possible to imagine what was there."

History

During the last quarter of the nineteenth century, enthusiasm for narrow gauge railroading flourished in the Midwest. The arguments put forth by promoters of the philosophy were very persuasive. Particularly receptive to these arguments were residents of small rural communities not served by any rail line, who feared isolation and economic stagnation by not having a rail link with the outside world.

Fascinating history of the Chicago, Bellevue, Cascade & Western Railway, tracing its story from 1847 until the last piece of equipment was disposed of in 1972. Covers the construction and operation, the years when he railway had too much freight to handle, its relationship with the Milwaukee Road, and the financial woes from competition with trucks and automobiles. Born of a need to link a small eastern Iowa community with the outside world, this narrow gauge was one of those colorful, down home little railroads that filled a special niche during the years when America was pushing west across the Mississippi. Illustrated with over 250 black and white photos and drawings. With rosters (locomotives and rolling stock), maps, and bibliography. 258 pages with index.
