ISBN10: 0700603689, ISBN13: 9780700603688, [publisher: University Press Of Kansas] Softcover nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - As soon as the Kansas Territory was opened for settlement in 1854, towns sprang up like mushrooms--first along the Missouri border, then steadily westward along trail routes, rivers, and railroad lines. Many of them barely got beyond the drawing board and hundreds of them flowered briefly and died, victims of the 'boom or bust' economy of the frontier and the vagaries of weather, finance, mining, agriculture, railroad construction, and politics.Ghost Towns of Kansas is a practical guide to these forsaken settlements and a chronicle of their role in the history of Kansas. It focuses on 100 towns that have either disappeared without a trace or are only 'a shadowy remnant of what they once were,' telling the story of each town's settlement, politics, colorful figures and legends, and eventual abandonment or decline.The culmination of more than ten years of research, this new book is a distillation of the author's immensely popular three-volume work on the state's ghost towns, now out of print. Condensed and redesigned as a traveler's guide, it is organized by region and features ten maps and detailed instructions for finding each site. Twenty of the towns included are discussed for the first time in this volume. The book also contains more than 100 black-and-white photographs ...
