SILVER MOUNTAIN CITY: Ghost of the Sierra
by Karen Dustman
The roaring silver camp of Silver Mountain was touted as the "Comstock South" -- once hoped to rival the bonanzas of Virginia City. Today, it's just a "ghost of a ghost town," with not a stick of lumber left standing. But Silver Mountain City's tales -- and its people -- still live on, in this affectionate history of the once-bustling boomtown that put Alpine County on the map!
