Jerome was once home to the largest copper mine in Northern Arizona, built on the steep terrain of Cleopatra Hill.
The stories in this book will convince you they are here for a reason..
When the copper mine closed in 1953, Jerome was rendered a ghost town, and its spirits still lurk among the living.
Life was tough on the mountain-death came too soon for many.
Shootouts and murders, violent accidents in the mines and smelters and fires and diseases scourged its denizens.
Diversions for the hardworking miners came by way of saloons, gambling and ladies of the evening.
The small town, population fifteen thousand at its peak, was shockingly nefarious.
