Discover hundreds of ghost towns throughout Utah with this guidebook filled with pictures and directions.
Penny Spackman Clendenin, who grew up exploring ghost towns, divides them by county, sharing fascinating details that paint a portrait of Utah history. Towns include:
. Bradshaw City, which was founded by John Bradshaw after he dreamt of a cave high on a mountain and a pack rat's nest filled with gold nuggets. His dream was so real that he set out on foot to find his dream mine.
. Mercury Springs was a terribly isolated camp, but gold finds and mercury discoveries brought in miners. Later, tungsten was mined in great quantities, but over the years fluorspar has probably bought more whiskey, bread, and beans than anything else.
. Star City was the namesake of the Star Mining District and was six miles southwest of Milford. During the 1870s, it grew from a tent town into a mining camp.
Filled with tales of outlaws, insights on the mining way of life, and explanations of how these places became ghost towns in the first place, you'll love the stories behind these fascinating places.

Autoren-Porträt von Penny Spackman Clendenin
I was born and raised in North Ogden, Utah. I graduated from Weber High School, and I have a Bachelor's degree from Weber State College. I married my husband Rod Clendenin, we were married 1 day short of 37 years went he died, I had 3 children my youngest died in a motorcycle accident in 2019 and 2 months later my husband died of cancer. I have 7 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild.Rod and I started an auto repair business together, now I run it myself with the help of my wonderful employees. I started going blind with Macular Degeneration, when Rod was very sick with cancer and it progressed very fast. We loved snowmobiling and riding our 4 wheelers exploring ghost towns, not just Utah, but all over Idaho, Montana, & Nevada.
I am a member of the Daughters of the Utah pioneers, and on the board for the North Ogden Historical Museum.
I have always been fascinated by ghost towns and the history and stories they tell. This fascination led me to write the Shadowy Remains of Utah's Towns, which is a comprehensive guide to many of the ghost towns in Utah.
Many years of research went into writing Shadowy Remains of Utah's Towns, to give you the most accurate information possible. Research included; books, internet, museums, experts, people familiar with the area, and a personal trip to as many locations as possible.
