Voices At Tilight A Poet's Guide To Wyoming Ghost Tons [Paperback]

Wyoming's southern corridor bears the wind-scoured footprints of those tenacious, hopeful few who've left their mark on the wild landscape and spirit of this great and beautiful state. In this collection of poems, historical essays, and photographs, Voices at Twilight author Lori Howe illuminates the past and present of towns such as Old Sherman, once the highest railroad village in the world and now inhabited only by the grave of a child, Centennial, a former gold-rush town, now home to a colorful, artistic population of 100, Piedmont, whose well-preserved remains include the historic, stone beehive kilns of the Moses Byrne empire, and Medicine Bow, home of 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, as well as travel directions, GPS coordinates, and tips for the intrepid readers who wish to experience these unique towns and townsites for themselves.
