Product Description
They stand sentinel in the deserts and mountains of the west, reminders of an age when riches were always just over the horizon, when the railroads brought civilization to previously unreachable destinations almost overnight, and when the promise of gold drew dreamers and schemers from the east in vast numbers. Every year, these long-abandoned ghost towns face new threats, and every year, irreplaceable facets of the past are lost forever. SAVE OUR HISTORY heads to Montana and Northern California to walk the streets of places like Bodie, California, where the ghosts of the gold rush are palpable in the dusty streets and decrepit buildings hastily thrown up over a century ago. Drawing on archival material, original footage and expert interviews, this captivating hour chronicles the rich past and uncertain future of these architectural time capsules.Save Our History: Gold Rush Review
This DVD briefly mentions and shows just two ghost towns (Bodie, California and Garnet, Montana). It spends almost the entire video in showing how they are restoring log cabins in Montana and mining for gold in California and the process used for mining for gold. While these all may be interesting subjects, they are barely mentioning the ghost towns themselves. The length of the DVD is under an hour. They probably spent less than five minutes actually showing and telling about the ghost towns and only mention two. For the money being charged for this DVD, you might want to think twice before purchasing it.Most of the consumer Reviews tell that the "Save Our History: Gold Rush" are high quality item.
