by S. Martin Shelton (Author)

In this monograph, Shelton outlines the key factors involved in visiting ghost towns and mining camps in the western United States. Based on over twenty years of ghost-towning experience, he presents a fact-based guide of the "Dos" and "Don'ts" when traveling in the outback. His list of "Cautions" is a must read for all prospective adventurers. Shelton bases his survival technique on first-hand experience and training in the United States Navy. He concludes with delightfully humorous truisms on the verities of ghost-towning.
