Ghost Towns and Drowned Towns of West Kootenay

For those avid history buffs this is a great book to start with for the ghost towns of the Kootenay's. This 110 pg book encompasses 50 stories of towns and has great black and white photo's from the archives incorporated so as you are touring the sites listed you can see what it used to look like in its hey day. The stories include those from the southwest border of BC at Cascade City to the east at Creston and up north towards Trout Lake and North Arrow Lake past Halycon Hot Springs, and easterly towards Kaslo and Argenta We found this a great resource as we do lots of back road travelling and this helped fill in the story gaps for some of the rundown buildings we came across in the area.
