Description
A gold rush or the arrival of a railroad could turn a sleepy village into a boomtown overnight! Authentic photographs feature the townspeople of Boomtowns of the West and the often difficult conditions in which they lived. Detailed illustrations help show: - how towns were built - what kinds of businesses sprang up - why entertainment halls were so popular - the role women played in boomtowns - the dangerous job of sheriff and how the North West Mounted Police helped stop lawlessness in the West - the railroad's devastating impact on Native peoples
