WEBMASTER COMMENT:
With the availability of digital cameras requiring no film and no film processing costs, it would be an interesting experiment to photograph marked graves in older deteriorating cemeteries. If the resulting photographs were then indexed and available as web pages, genealogy and family history researchers would have photo evidence to enhance their searches.

Boom Towns & Relic Hunters of Northeastern Washington
Author, historian, and treasure hunter Jerry Smith takes you back in time to the Boom Town days of yesteryear. He brings back the other life in the ageless Old West mining-era of the days of Boom Towns, miners, prospectors, pioneers, and million-dollar mines. Here is a rich bonanza of history for you to prospect without the hardships and tragedy of the early day pioneers. Fill your cache with hours of high-grade pleasure and fascinating relics from this treasure trove. There are a lot of ghosts to chase in this part of the country and for you who are ghost town-conscious we have Jerry Smith to show you the way to some of Northeastern Washington's most picturesque ghost towns whose yesteryears were as colorful as they were lively.

...a valuable resource about Places in New Mexico and Historic Markers along New Mexico Highways...

The people, geological features and historic events making New Mexico what it is today are commemorated in over 350 historic markers along the state's roads. This guide fills in gaps and answers questions those markers provoke, with added information the interested traveler is sure to want. To use this book is to acquire the history of the state in bite-size increments.

Geological and scenic markers for Rio Grande, Colorado Plateau and uniquely New Mexican features such as Jornada del Muerto and Wagon Mound explicate the state's physical landscape. The presence of early human inhabitants is marked at Blackwater Draw, Gila Cliff Dwellings and Aztec and Salmon ruins, among others. Most pueblos and tribes have markers and early incursions of Spaniards are commemorated. Spanish and Mexican settlement patents are marked. The American occupation is marked at forts, battlefields and survey points. Missions, trails, ghost towns, oil wells and outlaws are all represented with markers, as are such symbols of New Mexico as the Santa Fe Opera and Smokey Bear.

Published by University of New Mexico Press, Albuquerque, available at most book stores including Wal-Marts, online at amazon.com and others. Paperback, 434 pages with index, 7" by 10".
