Reseña del libro "Ghost Towns of the Republic of Texas (en Inglés)"
Ghost Towns of the Republic of Texas is a book written by Dorothy Aarts, which explores the history and current state of various abandoned towns across the state of Texas. The book delves into the reasons why these towns were abandoned, such as natural disasters, economic decline, or changes in transportation routes. Aarts provides a detailed account of each ghost town, including its founding, notable events, and eventual decline. She also includes photographs and maps to help readers visualize the town's layout and location. The book covers a wide range of ghost towns, from small settlements to larger towns that were once bustling centers of commerce. Some of the towns featured in the book include Indianola, which was destroyed by a hurricane in 1886, and Lobo, a former mining town that was abandoned in the early 20th century. Overall, Ghost Towns of the Republic of Texas is a fascinating read for anyone interested in Texas history or the stories of forgotten towns. It offers a unique perspective on the state's past and sheds light on the lives of those who once called these towns home.This is a new release of the original 1939 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
