- In this episode of Ghost Towns and More, we take a look at the amazing story of the rise and fall of one of the most prominent gold producing towns in the nation during its peak. From floods to fires, the people who lived here endured the best and worst of times. Learn about their triumphs and tragedies in this story.
I worked for an archaeologist in Hawaii for years. It's always hard to keep in mind that the things you are handling were once handled by people who lived, laughed and loved just like you. Their possessions, that you now hold, once meant a lot to them. Your story of JOY is a great example.
Well said!
Been to goldfield several times. Looking forward for another visit.
I just stumbled onto this vlog. Love it! I love the history of the old towns in the west. I grew up in SoCal, moved to Utah in the early 1970's and later bought small ranch in Utah near the Outlaw Trail in the eastern desert. I used to love driving, or riding horses to find and see old ghost towns. I used to drag my family along, and they'd moan and groan taking them over dirt roads along precarious cliffs, but once we got there they were just as excited to be there as I was. (I used to call those old trails and roads, "the Scenic Route".) LOL. Thank you for doing the history.
“Gly”: Very well produced and well researched. I spent two summers in Goldfield and absolutely loved it. Good job, keep up the good work. Subscribed!
Thanks a ton!
Good video, thanks.
Drove threw there on my way home from Mexico. It's a cool little town I'd like to go back.
I love the way you have researched and included stories of the people who once lived there! The story of little Joy is so touching. This is a beautiful tribute to those who have gone before! Keep it up! Can't wait to see what comes next!
Thank you so much!
Agreed! I love the stories.
Loved the video,hope to see more like this in the future 👍🏴.
More to come!
An excellent production. I liked that the story started in Tonapah.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Very Interesting! I sent it to my son-in-law who grew up in Tonopah and mines Turquoise in the area.
Wonderful
Great History lesson 👏 👍. Thanks for sharing so much Historical Photographs. Really enjoyed it.
Our pleasure!
It's great to see these more accessible Ken. I subbed. 💚
Thanks for the sub!
I got married in Goldfield right in front of the old boarded up Goldfield Hotel... The Mayor and several elderly ladies were all witnesses... That was in 1982... I doubt I'll ever go through that area again.
Too old for travel.. My wild west adventure will not be repeated.... The whole area is so radioactive that it glows in the dark.. It's been well cooked by the military...
Hello
What a fabulous report about this ghost town and what a tragic story about Joy who died in 1907 that year
my grandfather to the world.
It's amazing how fast Goldfield has grown and survived so many disasters.
Thanks for taking me to the past.

It's pretty incredible how big Goldfield used to be. I drove through recently and never would have guessed if I didn't previously it and other towns, such as Austin.

Lolokano the adventure chef here. This video was superbly done! Subbed as well. Keep ‘em coming sir! 😊

That train is awesome and it should be restored big time!!!
They should at least keep it from rusting anymore!!!
They should start a go fund me or something to do it!!!
It's to amazing to just rust away!
Great job. I really enjoyed this and will be watching your other vids.
Thank you very much!
There's a great book by C.B.Glasscock about Goldfield, he was there, saw it all, wrote the book "There's Gold in Them Hills" in 1932. Books don't get any better.

Sight of the 1906 Joe Gans vs Battling Nelson Lightweight Championship fight, the first superfight promotion by Tex Rickard. Won by the great Joe Gans on a 42nd round disqualification.
A very good sports read about the fight itself is: "The Longest Fight: In the Ring with Joe Gans, Boxing's First African American Champion" by William Gildea

That's very nice what they did for that little girl! No parent should ever have to bury their children!
God bless!!!
nice job.
Man someone ought to go grab one of them old cars and rebuild it it's got a little bit of rest but it's just sitting there doing nothing make a hot rod out of one of them things if you got the money unless somebody owns it doesn't want you to I doubt anybody owns those things. Also there's probably more gold around there somewhere they never found maybe a half a mile out of town I'm going to have to go check that place out.
Awesome content. New subscriber
Welcome aboard!
Love that place.
neat story about the little girl. is anyone allowed to go there and metal detect or prospect?
It would depend on each private property owner you ask when there.
Falta los pueblos del estado de Arizona
Wonder if there is RV PARKING??
Yes
