4. Leadfield Ghost Town

Imagine being one of the 300 miners who streamed into Leadfield Ghost Town in 1926, expecting to make a fortune. Picture being one of them less than a year later, when the town was abandoned to the desert. It was started and promoted by Charles C. Julian, who marketed the development across California as one of the last great mines of the Death Valley mining boom. Within a few months he was escaping to Shanghai to avoid claims that he had lied to investors.
