Here is an excellent guide to eighty-four of Idaho's most interesting ghost towns. Along with the history of each town, Sparling gives the current state of the preservation. Both armchair travelers and wilderness explorers will be delighted with the treasures to be found.

This book gives the reader an inside look at old Idaho.

Our family has enjoyed "Southern Idaho Ghost Towns" since the day we found this book. We even refer to it as the ghost towning "Bible". It has been read with ease and interest many times and I always catch something new. We have been to many of the towns mentioned, and the decriptions and stories about them are breathtaking. Sparling paints a realistic picure of early Idaho that you can enjoy simply through his eyes, or check out for yourself!

S. Idaho ghosts

Wayne Sparling has put together an excellent ghost town book for southern Idaho (south of the Salmon River). Most of these towns, of course, were mining camps, and most of them probably still offer the visitor something man-made to look at (though disappearing fast). Towns are arranged by sections, with a map at the beginning of each section. (The maps are the only disappointing thing about the book: they aren't very detailed.) The book is packed with photos - just about every site has at least one photo. I finally picked up the latest edition; my earlier one completely fell apart from use. Hopefully it's updated again soon.
