This ebook can not be printed.
The Wild West is one of the most popular and endearing periods of American history, and you can still see remnants of this exciting time. Ghost towns, historic sites and amazing legends can be found all over the Southwest.
Arizona is at the heart of the Wild West, and 2012 was its Centennial. Experience the Old West by exploring the great historic city of Jerome in my ebook The Vanishing Old West – Jerome.
This former mining town went from being called The West’s Wickedest City to The Worlds Largest Ghost City when all mining stopped in 1953. Jerome is now a diverse artist’s community. But look a little deeper and you’ll see the amazing history of this town, buildings and homes that are over 100 years old, mining equipment and cars from the turn of the century and much more.
| “Just bought your book ‘The Vanishing Old West, Jerome.’ It was so interesting I ended up reading the whole thing right after I bought it. You have a real talent for photography. I love your photos.” Dru W. |
The photographs in The Vanishing Old West – Jerome will take you back in time. You will see houses, cars and machinery that are vanishing, or already gone. Gone forever from our world, and never to return. They are victims of time, neglect and Nature’s eternal and Herculean efforts to turn everything to dust.
There are photographs of houses that have fallen down, been renovated to look brand new, or gutted by fire. In one case a demolition crew arrived just minutes after I started photographing an old house. That old structure was torn down and unceremoniously carted off by the end of the day. Today, a brand new home stands on this lot. While it’s a lovely new home, it’s also another nail in the coffin of the Old West.
The West, like time, moves slowly, but it does move. It can turn buildings, monuments, machinery and homes to nothing more than memories. Not long ago there was a barn north of Jerome that was a glorious old codger. A structure made of 120-year-old wood, built with sweat and blood to help a homesteader survive, and thrive. Time finally caught up with him, and he succumbed to time, gravity and the cycle of life. Overnight, this grizzled old barn became nothing more than a pile of lumber.
Look at The Vanishing Old West – Jerome as a window into the past. See how people lived very nicely in small homes; used machinery, cars and trucks that had an artistic flair; and were more a part of the fabric of life and Nature than most of us are today. Days were simpler, things moved at a more leisurely pace and every aspect of a person’s life was more visceral and alive.
Sit back and enjoy this trip through Arizona’s rich history, and realize that everything you see here will some day be gone, forever.
The Vanishing Old West – Jerome will show you that parts of the Old West still exist. You can see and touch it. Get a feel of what it was like to raise a large family, or run a business, in a building that’s smaller than most modern home’s living rooms. I want you to know that history is still alive, still around you. I want The Vanishing Old West – Jerome to give you a better understanding of Arizona’s past, and show you the amazing pieces of history that can be found in Jerome.
I also want to preserve this history before it’s gone forever. In The Vanishing Old West – Jerome I have photographs of several homes that are now gone forever. But even though they no longer exist, my photographs preserve them for you and future generations to learn from and enjoy.
I did a thorough job of recording Jerome. Here’s the outline of The Vanishing Old West – Jerome.
- The History of Jerome
- The Big Mines
- Smaller Mines
- The Town
- Signs of the Times – Signs painted on walls
- On the Fringe – Things around town
- Old Homes and Buildings – A shadow of their former selves
- The Gold King Mine and Ghost Town
- Plants – From none to everywhere
- Water – Four springs quench the town’s thirst
- Intimate Details – Little things you don’t want to miss
- Cemetery – The last call for us all
You can celebrate the rich history of Arizona with The Vanishing Old West – Jerome, and doesn’t our history deserve to be honored and shared?
Get your own copy of The Vanishing Old West – Jerome, and celebrate the Old West with this ebook of photographs and historic information.

The Youngest Ninja weaves a delicate fabric of fact and fiction to entertain and educate the reader.
Sample Page
Setsuko knew if she was found on this moonless night, she would be murdered! Without hesitation, she laid down under the giant maple tree. Then buried her small frame in the thick blanket of dried leaves that covered the ground.
Quiet…, concentrate, she ordered herself. Breath…, slowly.
This was not easy to do. She had tried to outrun her pursuer for so long she was out of breath. See the ocean, she told herself. Feel the gentle, slow waves. Setsuko’s breathing grew so shallow that the rhythmic rise and fall of the leaves ceased.
The smell of damp earth and rotting leaves crawled through her black hood, and into her nose. A sneeze began squirming to life.
Without warning, a foot penetrated her protective blanket of leaves, just inches from her ear. It belonged to an evil ninja from the Nawa Clan. The same ninja who had chased her through the dark night. If Setsuko made any sound or movement, he would find her.
Concentrate, she ordered again. Control your fear! The sneeze… slowly… died.
Setsuko imagined what was happening in the world above her leafy cloak. The ninja was dressed in black from head to toe. Only his eyes and fingers peeking out from his tight fitting uniform. Standing in a well-practiced crouch, he would look like a tree stump to any passerby. He scanned the shadows for his small prey.
Trained from the age of two, as were most ninjas, he knew how to see in the dark. No movement would escape his keen vision.
Drawing on her own ninja training, Setsuko held her breath and didn’t move. Be as silent as the shadow, she repeated from her father’s lessons. A moment later she felt the ninja walk away.
Setsuko poked her head through the leaves and looked around. The ninja was gone, at least for the moment. Whew, that was close, she thought as she caught her breath. Father was right, the Nawa Clan does have ninjas looking for me. I must be very careful. Since this is my first mission, I need to prove myself worthy of being a ninja. Tapping her left side she felt the scroll safely tucked inside her shirt.
Setsuko got up and without a sound crept… very… carefully… to a denser growth of forest. Deep shadows swallowed her whole. She was invisible again.
