Guide to the Colorado Ghost Towns and Mining Camps

<div> <p>This is not a history book. Rather it is a directory of towns and compilation of known information about those towns. In undertaking the stud I was amazed at the amount of legend and contradictory information Colorado history has collected in just one hundred years. Who was it that said: 'History is the perpetuation of saleable gossip'? (Perhaps nobody has said it yet. In that case it's mine all mine.)<br> <br> As of this moment this is the most complete compilation of Colorado mining towns-ghost or going-available.<br> <br> For the fourth edition over 100 towns have been added. Also I have included a new chapter (XXVI. Addendum page 466) the first couple of pages of which can well be read as a second Preface to the book.<br> - Perry Eberhart Preface 1959 and 1969</p> </div>
