Produktbeschreibung

In Voices at Twilight, a collection of poems, historical essays, and photographs, Lori Howe illuminates past and present Wyoming ghost towns. Old Sherman, once the highest railroad village in the world, is now inhabited only by a child's grave. Centennial, a former gold-rush town, is now home to a colorful, artistic population of 100.

Piedmont's well-preserved remains include the historic stone beehive kilns of the Moses Byrne empire. Medicine Bow is home to the historic Virginian Hotel, named for Owen Wister and his novel, The Virginian.

The poems, essays, and photographs of Voices at Twilight offer the reader a visual tour of twelve of Wyoming's ghost towns. Contained within this book are travel directions, GPS coordinates, and tips for intrepid readers who wish to experience these unique towns and town sites for themselves.
