Video Description

In a way, ghost towns from the wild west are the best preserved footprints of the frontier we now only experience through textbooks and encyclopedias, their crumbling architecture and wayward atmospheres now the symbol of the period’s makeshift attitudes. If one thing is for certain, it’s that with every ghost town comes an incredibly rich story full of both optimistic beginnings and haunted endings, much like the general history of the wild west itself. To gain a better picture of the types of ghost towns still left unpopulated across the barren, dusty plains born of the American frontier’s yesteryear, here are three fascinating ghost towns with a deep connection to the wild west. 0:00 Introduction 1:17 The Ballad of Buckskin Joe 14:44 From Garnet to Gold 21:51 Prisoners of Freeman Music produced by CO.AG: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCcavSftXHgxLBWwLDm_bNvA/videos Thank you for watching.
