Abstract

T. Lindsay Baker, curator of agriculture and technology in the Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum in Canyon, Texas, brings back to life eighty-eight Texas ghost towns. In describing each town, Baker relates its founding, its former significance, and the reasons for its decline. In addition, for each townsite he includes a map and full directions for reaching it.
