Welcome! We have a variety of books primarily pertaining to mining camps and abandoned towns throughout the West. Learn about mining rushes, transportation (roads, railroads, stagecoaches, early autos), and other factors that caused towns to spring up in specific locations. Find out what life was really like for the residents of these towns as they boomed and then slowly faded into ghost towns. Local newspapers covered gunfights, fires, mining disasters, blizzards, and mining frauds as well as the social activities that created a sense of community.

Delamar, Nevada by Jeanne Sharp Howerton

Western Places Volume 13-2

Delamar was the biggest thing in Nevada in the 1890s. It produced millions in gold, but dust from the mines caused silicosis. The town had a long main street. The ruins are extensive, and visitors are frequent despite the condition of the road. Jeanne has included many pictures and a claim map of the Delamar mines.

Paperback, 102 pages.
