Southern Idaho Ghost Towns

Here is an excellent guide to eighty-four of Idaho's most interesting ghost towns -- places with names like Bayhorse, Yankee Fork and Silver City. When mineral riches were found in southern Idaho "boomtowns" arose across this rugged land.  When the mining activity ceased these towns were quickly abandoned yet they still stand; a testimony to the vagaries of life in the frontier in pursuit of gold and silver. by Wayne C.
