Bodie - A ghost town from the late 1800's

Описание к видео Bodie - A ghost town from the late 1800's

By 1879 Bodie boasted a population of about 10,000 residents with 2,000 buildings, and became known as the "most lawless, wildest and toughest mining camp the Far West has ever known."

The town became more known for its wild living than for its big gold resources. Every other building on the mile long main street was a saloon
Killings occurred with monotonous regularity.

Two fires, one in 1892 and the other in 1932, ravaged the business district. Bodie faded into a ghost town during the 1940's.
