Ghost Towns of Wyoming, the first in a series of ten ghost town books, is a stunning volume featuring a historical and physical biography of 74 sites, with their history dating back to 1812. While many of these towns are a vanishing breed from a bygone era, a sense of history hangs in the air of their empty streets. The only sounds that fill your ears are the wind, creaking boards, and the gravel under your boots.
To be quite honest, I haven't read it the whole way through. But, I read the part about my home and Raisch was spot on. Some people like to embellish the truth to make it more interesting, or look down on us for choosing to live the way we do. However, Raisch was both respectful and accurate. This book has my seal of approval.
