Book Trader, Spearfish, SD announces a ?Meet the Ghost Town Hunter? book signing party featuring Bruce A. Raisch, ghost town hunter, historian, photographer, and author of Ghost Towns of Wyoming and Ghost Towns and Other Historical Sites of the Black Hills on May 20th from 2-4pm . When you hear the word ?ghost town,? a stark Western frontier image usually pops into one?s mind. True enough, there used to be many such locations. Now, most are gone or are mere shadows of even their recent past.
Ghost Towns of Wyoming, the first in a series of ten ghost town books, is a stunning volume featuring a historical and physical biography of 74 sites, with their history dating back to 1812. While many of these towns are a vanishing breed from a bygone era, a sense of history hangs in the air of their empty streets. The only sounds that fill your ears are the wind, creaking boards, and the gravel under your boots.
Ghost Towns and Other Historical Sites of the Black Hills is the second in the series of the American West. Bruce continues his journey down the road less traveled to numerous ghost towns of the Black Hills. A new adventure awaits on every page as you follow the trail of George Custer, gold Prospectors, mining towns, farms, stagecoaches, timber and tourist towns, and the railroads, to places that are haunted by spirits; a new adventure waits on every page.
Through the pages of these books, the streets of these deserted towns come back to life. While exploring these towns, you will find adventure, great vistas, wildlife, and occasionally, the story of lost treasure or the alleged spirit. High-quality photographs and in-depth information make these books a wonderful learning tool and lifelong reminder of these fragile towns and the legends that lay in their streets.
Bruce will be autographing copies of Ghost Towns of Wyoming and Ghost Towns and Other Historical Sites of the Black Hills and speaking about his ghost hunting explorations at Book Trader; 111 E. Hudson St. in Spearfish, SD. Books will be available at the time of the book signing or they may be pre-ordered by calling 605-722-7952. Don?t miss out on the adventure; make this your opportunity to capture history in these limited-edition books.
