Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. New Mexico's vast, deep blue skies are as encompassing as the miles of open road beneath them. The emptiness between towns can be soul-stirring and the state is often referred to as "The Land of Enchantment." New Mexico's settlement is inextricably tied to the railroad. Many long-abandoned railroad towns dot the lonely highways and the iconic and cathedralesque Albuquerque Rail Yards remain as a stoic symbol of the industrialization of America's forty-seventh state. New Mexico is an adventure not just for passionate road trippers but for everyone inspired by the Southwest's colorful history. Its abandoned past offers the curious a glimpse of America's modern historical eras. In the north, the Tierra Amarillo Airforce Station stands sentry to the Cold War years of the 1950s. Farming towns, which have remained silent since the Great Depression, hold only ghost-like reminders. Forts, some converted to tuberculosis treatment centers, have outlived their usefulness and now depend on historical preservationists for their survival. Enigmas and Endings explores the remains of progress in a state crucial to America's push westward and the passionate push to preserve the very fabric of its memories.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. A haunting photographic journey through Nevada's glittering past and its ghost town remains.Almost a century before Las Vegas became Nevada's glittering jewel in the desert, the state was at the center of a history-making mining stampede: first silver and then gold, two of the Earth's most sought-after precious metals. Towns and cities were established almost overnight and abandoned at lightning speed once the riches were exhausted. Miners and residents moved from one gold strike to the next, settling and then unsettling the state; some towns survived and remain as semi-inhabited time capsules of another era, while others have crumbled back into the desert. Nevada's vast expanses of desert are home to hundreds of ghost towns, both desolate and engaging. Abandoned Nevada: All That Glittered, is a photographic exploration of well-known locations such as iconic Rhyolite with its towering ruins of the Cook Bank building, as well as the not-so-famous and more hidden towns such as Blair. All ghost towns invite us to visit, however briefly, another time. They are precious reminders of the grit and determination--and in many cases, greed--that drove the settlement of the Southwest. How much of them will remain 100 years from now? This question bears contemplation and validates the importance of visually documenting their tenuous status.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Arizona is a visual delight: a ruggedly beautiful state with a rich history and abundant photographic opportunities of not only its exquisite landscape, but its abandoned past. From dusty ghost towns to eerily silent concrete masterpieces, what has been discarded in the settling of this young state is the narrative of Ghost Towns and Legends. Many of Arizona's once thriving mining communities are now deserted. They are nestled in picturesque valleys and harsh desert mountain ranges. America's beloved Route 66 stretches across the state and many trading posts remain--although long abandoned and at the mercy of time and vandals, they still have colorful, visual stories to tell. The Abandoned Arizona, Ghost Towns and Legends journey encompasses the entire state, including the metropolis of Phoenix, where the legendary Phoenix Trotting Park stood isolated and forsaken for half a century. Irresistible sunsets are an Arizona trademark, but so too should be its slowly disintegrating past; before we move on to what's next, we must be mindful of the importance of our past--there is much to be learned.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Maryland, although a small state, plays a historically significant role in the settlement of the United States. It shares its iconic history through what remains of its industrial, governmental, and recreational past. The home of the Star-Spangled Banner offers both the curious urbex photographer and history buff an abundance of opportunities. Buildings once bustling with theatre goers and brewery workers are decaying or, in the case of a lucky few, being restored and revitalized to include original architectural details. Mills and factories that once sustained cities and rural towns have not fared as well. Monoliths built to never come down have been demolished and scrapped for steel and copper. Many of the hospitals and schools, which once contributed so much to the state's development, have succumbed to time and nature's forces. Struggling to survive, they have become breathtakingly beautiful in their process of disintegration. Abandoned Maryland offers a thoughtful journey through what we leave behind as well as a glimpse at the light and texture infused entities these giants of their time have become--they still have much to offer before their final demise.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Explores the remnants of Pennsylvania's industrial, recreational, correctional, and educational past, showcasing the erasure of history.Pennsylvania's history is intrinsic to our understanding of America's expansion. As the second state in the nation, much of America's early industrial history can be traced back to Pennsylvania and its two largest cities, Philadelphia and Pittsburg. Not only was the Declaration of Independence signed in Philadelphia in 1776, it was also the capital city of the United States from 1790 to 1800. More than two centuries later, evidence of much of this history is slowly being erased from our present-day landscape. For the armchair urban explorer and history buff alike, Abandoned Pennsylvania: Industry and Endings takes a journey through Pennsylvania's industrial, recreational, correctional, and educational past. Scranton Lace Factory, the anchor of a small industrial town, and the irreplaceable Inn at Buck Hill Falls were once bustling cogs in a growing state's fortunes; a fireplace and a clock tower are all that remain to remind us of their existence. Of other buildings, such as the Transfiguration of Our Lord Church and Thomas Edison High School, nothing remains. In their place is an athletic field, a Save-A-Lot store, and a parking lot. Industry and Endings illuminates the regrettable fact that our hunger for progress is outstripping our respect for the past.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Explores the state's rich history through its forgotten cemeteries, where pioneers, miners, and outlaws rest.California is one of several states that make up the Wild West in the United States. It was first established as a U.S. a territory in 1848. The state that would become California was, like so much of the West, originally inhabited by Native Americans and, in the sixteenth century, colonized by Spain as part of Mexico. After the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), the United States acquired the land that eventually became Texas, New Mexico, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, and California. As with other Southwest states, precious metals were found in the late nineteenth century, and pioneers, miners, cowboys, and outlaws converged on "The Golden State." California attained statehood in 1850. Of course, with an influx of residents comes a new need for graveyards. The cemeteries of the pioneer and mining towns carry on even as the towns have fallen to ruins. Many California graveyards linger in obscurity in out-of-the-way places (Garlock-Goler, Keeler), while others are popular tourist attractions (Bodie). Regardless of their conditions, the cemeteries offer powerful and precious reminders of California's wild history. Graveyards of the Wild West: California invites you to learn not only about California's past, but to see it and meet the people whose spirit of adventure led them to live and die in an idyllic and untamed territory.
