- Former mining, logging, fishing, and ranching communities that now lie within park boundaries
- Ghost towns, including many that now lie underwater
- Over 300 post offices in 110 parks, including some that operated on ships, trains, military bases, along historic trails, and even in a prison
- Real-life drama – marriage, betrayal, politics, murder, fraud, successes, failures, and notoriety
- A valuable resource of national park history, regional history, and genealogy
The author, Paul R. Lee II, is a retired NPS employee with more than 40 years of service as a park ranger and planner.
