many storied ghost towns, and few people get to see these remote places in person the way photographers Larry and Vivian Roland have. Here they share rich color photographs of landscapes, townsites, homes, stores, mining structures, closeup details, and more. Historical black-and-white images, newspaper quotes, and anecdotal text help tell the stories of thousands of hard-working pioneers, those who preyed on them, and a few larger-than-life characters, bringing the past back to colorful life.
