About this item

Of all the mining towns in Colorado, among of the best preserved is St. Elmo (front cover). One can walk past its row of abandoned buildings and ponder what it must have been like during its glory days. St. Elmo forms a scenic foreground for the dense forests and high mountains in Chalk Creek Canyon. Its history is closely coupled to the Stark family who settled in St. Elmo more than a century ago. The Starks became the town’s most prominent family and eventually operated the Home Comfort Hotel and the Stark Store, both of which remain standing today. Learn more about St. Elmo and many other ghost towns in Volume Two of Ghost Towns, Colorado Style. The second volume of Ghost Towns, Colorado Style is filled with over 230 historic and contemporary photos from the central region of the Colorado Rockies. Organized into six geographic areas, this book of fascinating history is easy to use and fun to read. It covers over 250 town histories from Chaffee, Eagle, Garfield, Gunnison, Lake, Park, Pitkin and Teller counties. To guide readers to various sites, Jessen also provides 80 detailed maps and helpful directions.
