Synopsis
Calico was established in 1881 during one of the largest silver strikes ever recorded in California. At its peak (1887-1896), the town's population was about 1,200, and Main Street bustled with saloons, hotels, a post office, and a one-room schoolhouse that doubled as a church on Sundays. Historians generally agree that Calico was dead by 1904, but the town always had a small population that simply refused to give up. Authentically restored by Walter Knott in the 1950s, Calico survives as one of the few "living" ghost towns from the Old West era. The images in this book cover 130 years in Calico's life. Although presented in black-and-white, the stories they tell are as colorful as the surrounding hills that gave Calico its name., Calico was established in 1881 during one of the largest silver strikes ever recorded in California.

Item description from the seller
Seller feedback (5,911)
- i***j (783)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseThe package arrived today and is as described so I'm rating the sale as positive overall. A bit dismayed that shipping cost more than the item itself because seller used retail pricing... wish she had used Click 'n' Ship or PirateShip which would've cost $5-8 less (and still would've included $100 insurance). Other than that, 5 stars for item description and communication.
- a***r (14)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseSeller shipped extremely quickly, received around two weeks earlier than expected. Items were carefully packaged and arrived in excellent condition. Communication from seller was prompt, and a small issue that arose was quickly resolved. Excellent value for the price - feel very lucky to have picked up a full set of these books in such great condition for under $500. Overall, I highly recommend this seller - I had an excellent experience buying.Great Books Of The Western World 1952 Encyclopedia Britannica Complete Set 54 (#116432070030)
