Today, there's a ghost town or two in every county of East Texas. Some lie asleep beside well-traveled highways. Othrs are buried in forest, visited by only a few sentimentalists.

Fifty-two ghost towns of East Texas.

This is the second in a 3-part anthology of old East Texas sawmill towns and ghost towns. It includes Hardin, Jasper, Liberty, Montgomery, Sabine, Shelby and Trinity counties.

Includes Angelina, Chambers, Jefferson, Nacogdoches, Newton, Orange, Polk and Tyler counties.

"The indefatigable T. Lindsay Baker has now turned his enormous mental and physical energies to the subject and has brought to view - if not to life -eighty-six Texas ghost towns for the reader's pleasure. Baker lists three criteria for inclusion: tangible remains, public access, and statewide coverage. In each case Baker comments about the town's founding, its former significance, and the reasons for its decline. There are maps and instructions for reaching each site and numerous photographs showing the past and present status of each. The contemporary photos were taken, in most instances, by Baker himself, who proves as adept a photographer as he is researcher and writer....Baker has done his work thoroughly and well, within limits imposed by necessity. He obviously had fun in the process and it shows in his prose."---New Mexico Historical Review
