T. Lindsay Baker's impressive list of publications, with topics ranging from windmills to slave narratives to Polish immigrants, reflects his eclectic interest in our nation's heritage. Baker is known as the "ghost town man," and one of the things to be learned from his preface to More Ghost Towns of Texas is that there is a website that characterizes the remains of these gone-but-not-forgotten places as "Baker towns" and "non-Baker towns," depending upon who has written about them. That is preempting a field, to say the least. |
