They have divided the state into eleven regions comprising seventy ghost towns, from the Santa Fe Trail and Colfax County in the north to the southern mountains and the boot heel at the other end of New Mexico.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor this writing, Harris has redefined \u003ci\u003eghost town\u003c\/i\u003e to refer not just to permanently abandoned places but also to those that have declined without necessarily dying. She sheds light on the ways some towns have survived and how some have reinvented themselves, like Madrid and Cerrillos, former mining towns turned artistic and bohemian enclaves. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll the towns in this book are accessible. Many have their own web sites and most have benefited from the efforts of preservation-minded residents and museum curators. Roads have been improved, churches restored, and schools have been transformed into community centers, libraries, or residences. \u003ci\u003eGhost Towns Alive\u003c\/i\u003e will certainly entice New Mexicans and out-of-state tourists alike to pack a lunch and hit the road.
