This little town at one point was a center for mining and tourism in Carbon County in the late 1800s. Along with that important history, the town also developed a rich fabric of folklore, legends and ghost stories which author David A.Wargo has recorded in this volume.Drawing from the rich stories of his community and personal experiences, he provides a new perspective into the fabric of this historically important town. Read about the Woman in White, one of the oldest legends in the community.

These stories provide a richness to this quaint little borough along with historical context making this book not only a treasure of folklore but a useful collection of local history and photographs of this hilltop town.
