Weekly Sentence |
|
Virtually every ghost town has untold
stories of people who longed for a chance at a better life. |
|
Although ghost towns can be found throughout
the world, in the United States they are the most often thought of as the
mining camps, cowboy towns, and other settlements of the sprawling western
frontier. |
|
These communities boomed as miners sought
gold, silver, copper, or other precious minerals but died out when all the
ore was panned from streams or blasted from rocky tunnels. |
|
Seeking pay dirt, “forty-niners” (as the
prospectors came to be known) streamed into California in the first of the great
American gold rushes. |
|
Towns sprang up overnight. |
