Over a eleven-year period, the authors traveled to and photographed all of these towns. Since then, some have already changed or have become completely inaccessible. If you wish to visit them, go now.Ghost towns are not necessarily deserted. However, all have lost the main economic reason they were established. These changes s include mineral depletion, new roadways, new modes of transportation, World Wars I \u0026amp; II, and new government regulations.The authors are photographers, not writers or historians. As a result, this book is profusely illustrated with photographs. With very few exceptions, the pictures were taken by the authors.While researching this book, the authors discovered several interesting facts, including: an small, but expensive error in the Texas-New Mexico border; a nearly forgotten murder in Hillsboro; and the last train robbery in the state.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mac Read, Manfred Laendle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e East West Photo Arts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.43d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798218329976\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eRead, Mac:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - MAC READ has been into photography since his teens.
