One Hundred Ghosts: An Exposition of Rural Grain Elevators, Vol. 1

Customer Reviews:

"One Hundred Ghosts deserves the highest praise. It is extraordinary. The photography and graphic production are excellent, but the narrative is invaluable." Ed Austin, author and historian

"I have many books on my shelves but none of them are alive like this one. This book has dimensions that I cannot put into words or describe."  Gerhard Anderson, photographer.

"If you have any interest in the topic of grain movement in the old days, buy it... The text covers some of the more obscure or high level information, like grain as a worldwide industry and how it affected the local elevator... It's not a pure dry history, there are lots of introspective bits and some very artful photos." Jeff S.

"The book has at long last arrived and my first impression is WOW!" John M.
