Abandoned Places: Tales Of 10 Western Ghost Towns

Описание: Join us as we uncover the boom, bust, and abandonment of 10 iconic ghost towns scattered across the American West, with a focus on Virginia City, Nevada. We'll reveal the glory days when prospectors hit precious metal bonanzas, fueling rapid growth into thriving Wild West hubs filled with saloons, shops, mines, gunfights, riches, and vice. We’ll see how the mines inevitably pinched out, causing these towns to be deserted as once ambitious prospectors, business owners, and residents fled. Today we explore haunting abandoned buildings, mines, trains, and cemeteries still frozen in time from the days when pioneers shaped the unforgiving frontier. Relive Gold Rush fever on this virtual ghost town road trip!
