Ghost towns of Kansas, a Traveler's Guide. A prime example of major entrepreneurial activity in Kansas from 1854 to about 1890. Organized by region, the book tells the story of 100 towns that have either disappeared with a trace or are only a shadow of what they once were. Daniel Fitzgerald chronicles each towns settlement, politics, colorful figures and legends, and eventual abandonment or decline. Ten maps and detailed instructions for finding each site are included. The author has also written "Ghost Towns of Kansas, Volume I-III", and "Faded Dreams, More Ghost Towns of Kansas".
