Inevitable by-products of the development of gold, silver, copper, and other mineral deposits in Arizona, some of these communities mushroomed overnight into a hodgepodge of tents and makeshift homes, while others developed over a period of years into tidy, well-planned townsites. However, when their existence was no longer profitable, they slipped into the category of ghost towns. Covers 130 ghost towns in Arizona, with considerable information on each. Near fine.
