Download or read book The Bonanza Trail written by Muriel Sibell Wolle and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2018-03-12 with total page 890 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THIS is the story of the men who sought for gold, from California to the eastern rim of the Rocky Mountains. Mrs. Wolle writes colorfully of the unbelievable privations the men endured in penetrating the fastnesses of the high Sierra and the Rockies and in crossing the desert wastes of Arizona, Utah and Nevada; of the mines first discovered in New Mexico by Coronado and his men four centuries ago; and the first great rush that hit California in 1849. She follows the miners who poured in successive waves into the golden gulches of Oregon, Washington and Idaho, climbed to the deeper mines high in the mountains of Montana, Wyoming and Colorado, and dared at last to penetrate the Indian-infested Black Hills of South Dakota. It is doubtful if the vividness of this phase of history will ever fade for American readers. In personally following the trails of the pioneering prospectors, Mrs. Wolle finds her excitement continually renewed, as she stumbles upon mute evidence of past bloodshed, lust and struggle. It is this excitement which she conveys to her readers both in the text and in the more than one hundred on-the-spot drawings which show the towns and town sites with the eye of the nostalgic lover of this picturesque and courageous part of our national heritage. A guide book for the adventurous, THE BONANZA TRAIL will be attractive alike to travelers, American history enthusiasts and collectors of Americana. Nor will its pages soon be forgotten by the general reader. “THE BONANZA TRAIL is the fascinating and definitive book on the ghost and near-ghost towns of the Old West for which so many students and amateurs of Western Americana have been waiting. Like the once booming camps and diggings which are its subject, it is a repository of the wonderments, glories and pathos of pioneer times and romantic bonanzas....A book that, to the informed intelligence, is almost impossible to put down.”—LUCIUS BEEBE, The Territorial Enterprise

The book reveals the little-known stories of long-dead soldiers, American Indians, settlers, farmers, and miners. This essential guidebook to the historic remains of centuries' past includes maps, town histories, color and historical photographs, and detailed directions to these out-of-the-way outdoor museums of the West.

Ghost towns are within a short drive of major cities out West, and they make excellent day trip excursions. If you happen to be in or near Los Angeles, Phoenix, Las Vegas, or El Paso, for example, you ought to veer towards the nearest ghost town. Western ghost towns can also easily be visited during jaunts to national parks, including Grand Canyon, Yosemite, Crater Lake, Mount Rainier, Glacier, Yellowstone, and many others throughout the West. Ghost Towns of the West is a comprehensive guide to former boomtowns of the American West, covering ghost towns in eleven states from Washington to New Mexico, and from California to Montana. This book has everything you need to learn about, visit, and explore a modern remnant of how life used to be on the Western range"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discover hundreds of ghost towns throughout Utah with this guidebook filled with pictures and directions. Penny Spackman Clendenin, who grew up exploring ghost towns, divides them by county, sharing fascinating details that paint a portrait of Utah history. Towns include: • Bradshaw City, which was founded by John Bradshaw after he dreamt of a cave high on a mountain and a pack rat’s nest filled with gold nuggets. His dream was so real that he set out on foot to find his dream mine. • Mercury Springs was a terribly isolated camp, but gold finds and mercury discoveries brought in miners. Later, tungsten was mined in great quantities, but over the years fluorspar has probably bought more whiskey, bread, and beans than anything else. • Star City was the namesake of the Star Mining District and was six miles southwest of Milford. During the 1870s, it grew from a tent town into a mining camp. Filled with tales of outlaws, insights on the mining way of life, and explanations of how these places became ghost towns in the first place, you’ll love the stories behind these fascinating places.
