You don't have to be from Washington to enjoy this book.
This book was a fascinating history of mining, railroading and speculation. You don't have to know the area at all to enjoy the book but I wished I had the topo maps while I was reading it, it's that detailed.

Monte Cristo
This Book is a great book to read over and over again. There is so much information it's hard to take it all in and remember everything. I enjoyed it so much I own 3 copies.
If you like this book, you should read the Coffee Chased Us Up, by Elof Norman. Another great book which I also have the pleasure of owning. Check it out.
I found out about the Monte Cristo area when I was in high school and quickly became fascinated by its history and the beautiful mountains that surround the area. I eventually became involved with the MCPA which is The Monte Cristo Preservation Association. Feel free to visit the [..]
There are several other books on the Monte Cristo area, but most are out of print and very hard to find.
This is a must have book for any history buff or anyone interested in mining in Washington State.

Monte Cristo
Monte Cristo is an old townsite below a sleepy glacial basin located eighty miles northeast of Seattle.It's the destination of thousands of recreational hikers annually.Hidden from their view by a century of harshwinter storms and avalanches is a rich mining and townsite history thatPhilip Woodhouse brings to life.We returned from a weekend hike sointrigued that we went directly to the public library Monday evening. Wefound precious little, mostly Washington mining reports and embarrassinglyanecdotal histories.This book represents the only comprehensive, readablehistory of the environs.And it's a wonder to behold.Skillfully woventogether are journalistic accounts, anecdotes, recognizable sketches andmaps, and a narrative complemented by a generous collection of historicalphotos.Woodhouse is a writer evidently in love with these mountains andtheir history.His account is compelling and full of surprises, every bitas enchanting as the townsite it concerns.

An excellent resource to Washington's pasy
This book gives a great history and background of the ghost town in Washington.I would recommend this book to people who wanted to know of Washington's past or if they liked history. ... Read more

Excerpt: John (ca 1668-1770) and William Bastard (ca 1689-1766) were British surveyor-architects, and civic dignitaries of the town of Blandford Forum in Dorset. John and William generally worked together and are known as the "Bastard brothers". They were builders, furniture makers, ecclesiastical carvers and experts at plasterwork, but are most notable for their rebuilding work at Blandford Forum following a large fire of 1731, and for work in the neighbourhood that Colvin describes as "mostly designed in a vernacular baroque style of considerable merit though of no great sophistication.". Their work was chiefly inspired by the buildings of Wren, Archer and Gibbs. Thus the Bastards' architecture was retrospective and did not follow the ideals of the more austere Palladianism which by the 1730s was highly popular in England. The brothers, the sons of Thomas Bastard (died 1720), a joiner and architect, the founder of a family firm of provincial architects in the area. However little remains today of the works of the brothers' ancestors, chiefly as the result of the 1731 fire and a previous fire in the town in 1713. Plan showing the devastation of the fire of 1731.
