Carbon, WY

The Place Where the Rocks Burned

In southern Wyoming, beyond the Medicine Bow city limits and underneath the vast sky, is a ghost town. Meditating on the story of Carbon and its prolific historian, Nancy, this book chronicals things lost against the reverent skyline captured both as memory and photograph.

“Outside on the hillside of town a silent city lies, 

Where monuments and blocks of stone among the graves arise;” 

Mrs. Charles Ellis, 1932
