DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Released from Yuma prison after serving five years for a crime he didnÕt commit, Jubal Brand travels to a remote ghost town in the Arizona desert hoping to uncover a trunk of Confederate gold. Jubal was told by a dying outlaw in prison where the gold was hidden. Jubal wants that gold as a reward for serving time with robbers who refused to clear his name. But he soon learns that escaped murderer Edward Cobb is also searching for the gold, along with Lani St. Claire, a beautiful but mysterious dove. With a dangerous Apache on the loose, and with enigmatic U. S. Marshal Maxfield Knight tracking Cobb, Brand fears that he wonÕt live long enough to spend any of that gold.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →If it is abandoned by all or most of its inhabitants, a settlement becomes a ghost town. The buildings and dirt streets may remain, but the character and soul of the place change entirely. And so it was with mining camps, lumber camps, and cowboy towns scattered across America, particularly in the West: places with names like Gregory’s Diggings, Deadwood, Bodie, Calico, Goldfield, and Tombstone, some of the over 30,000 deserted towns in the United States. Why did people come to these isolated places? Why did they leave? As Raymond Bial’s narrative explores the history of our ghost towns, his well-composed photo-graphs silently tell their stories: of bustling, muddy streets, of large mercantile stores, and, ultimately, of short-lived dreams of gold, fertile land, or simply a good place to call home.
