Title: Ghost Towns and Mining Camps of New Mexico by James E. Sherman, Barbara H. Sherman, Jim Cooper ISBN: 0-8061-1106-2 Publisher: Univ of Oklahoma Pr (Trd) Pub. Date: June, 1980 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $24.95 |

Rating: 4
Summary: A bit dated, but still good
Comment: This well-researched book is an old standard and well worth owning. Unfortunately, it suffers from being a bit outdated, having been written before the population explosion in the southwest during the past 20 years. The descriptions are frequently of remains and ruins no longer in existence, plundered, or merely part of new, cutesy 'discovered' communities of gingerbread and bricabrack. A lot of the ghost towns, I might have said, have been reincarnated.
Even so, there's not a better book anywhere about the ghost towns of New Mexico as they existed 20-30 years ago.
Rating: 3
Summary: Good book -- but information is out of date
Comment: The history in this book is great and it's full of pictures; however, many are no longer accurate. The book was published in 1975 and much of what used to be there is no longer there and/or the properties are inaccessable because they are on private lands.
Rating: 5
Summary: Interesting Reading and Great Resource
Comment: This book is filled with pictures. It is a great book to read the history of the ghost towns and mining camps that can be found in NM. The authors have obviously done a lot of research and this results in a book that is informative, but fun to read. I particularly like how the authors have told various stories that are associated with each town. I find this to be a very accurate book also.
