Wisconsin has its share of ghost towns. Villages grew from trading posts, lumber camps, and mining sites. Some didn't survive the catastrophes that befell them, but they all surely experienced grand moments when anticipation of greatness loomed and prosperity seemed well within grasp. And many, before they passed from existence, wrote some colorful pages in Wisconsin history. Twenty-nine of these villages once again come to life on the pages of GHOSTVILLE.NEW... REVISED EDITION... includes the history of the Wisconsin Indian tribes, Wisconsin lumber industry, and much, much more!
