About This Item
New York: New American Library - Signet Books, 1962. First Printing Stated . Mass Market Paperback. Good. 160 Pages. September 1962 Edition. Some edge wear. Four inked lines of name and address and store stamp inside back cover. Red page edges. Book has been read several times but is still tight and square with no other marks or stamps. Text pages are clean and white. An extraordinay, true saga of the abandoned trading posts, miing camps, whistle-stops and cow towns of the Western frontier and of the pioneers who built them and left them, in their great trek toward the Pacific. Midas, Tincup, Silver City, Deadwood, Shakespeare all towns haunted by ghosts of a roaring heyday when cattlemen, traders, miners, gamblers and revivalists, fancy women and suffragettes, rocked the halls and pounded the wood-plank sidewalks of a booming, new frontier. This is a colorful, authentic history of America's most robust era of development-the story of the sprawling West, and the daring men and women who lived out their destiny in the frontier towns of yesterday ... the ghost towns of today.
