Ghost Town Jails Show Fortitude of Old West Settlements
Lambert Florin notes that ghost towns retain strong jails built by gold rush settlers even as homes vanish. He details how mining hubs faded, saloons and gambling dens outlasted others, and some towns survived with a hanging tree or through highway access as relics of a vanished era. Florin, author of Western Ghost Towns, maps the rise and decline of these rugged communities.
