Description
Terrence McGlynn, John Beatty, Dave Edelman, and an unknown individuals take turns discussing some of Montana’s lesser-known ghost towns. They talk about the history of Black Pine, which used to be a mining camp about 12 miles outside of Philipsburg, Montana. They explain that this town is no longer in existence but mining activities still occur in the area. Also discussed are the towns of Rumsey and Tower. They explain that Rumsey still has the outline of an old mill and that tower became a ghost town as recently as 1973. They also talk about the town of Emery, which produced one million dollars in ore. They conclude by listing the towns of Blackfoot City, Princeton, Coolidge, Independence, and Mountaineer City giving a brief overview of their history, location, and mining activities.
