Ghostown Hunter The Westward expansion from the East to the unexplored West,
thousand
of pioneers moved westward to find a better life for themselves and their families.
Most of the ghost towns
are located West of the Mississippi, especially in the states of
California, Oregon, Nevada and Arizona. There are over 10,000
ghost towns in California alone.
EXPANSION
Shopkeepers,
farmers, trappers moved westward to the land of opportunity. Along the
way West, many stop to establish small towns and trading posts. Many came to find their fortune in gold, silver and land.
Unfortnately many towns were abandon, leaving buildings and pieces of history behind. Ghost Towns
Either the miners luck ran
out, or the towns could not support their meger living. There are many
such towns today, all have a rich history of the past
of those who came before us.
Such towns today are now what we call, "Ghost Towns". EXPLORE
I
have explored many such towns in my travels across the plains and the
deserts. Most of the towns are located in the states of California,Nevada and
Arizona. With all ghost towns,only take photographs and leave only footprints behind. This is our heritage and we must all preserve
for future generations. Bodie Ghost Town, California |
