"Claimed: Land Use in Western America," Jun-2007, Kate Meyer
“In those ghosts or near ghosts where the placers have been gutted or the lodes played out, the shafts and drifts and tailing piles, the saloons and stores and hotels and houses, have been left to the lizards and a few survivors who have rejected the command of mobility. The deader the town, the more oppressive the emptiness that surrounds and will soon reclaim it.”

Wallace Stegner, The American West as Living Space, 1987
