Home Sweet Jerome: Death and Rebirth of Arizona's Richest Copper Mining City

For 32 years, author Diane Sward Rapaport was immersed in the social and political life of Jerome, a village of 450 people. When mining left the town in the early 1950's most thought the town would close down all together. But Jerome was too stubborn to die and it has become Arizona's most famous ghost town and a notorious and loveable hippie hideout. Diane tells the mesmerizing history of its inhabitants who stayed, or moved in and out during the the 60's and 70's and the rebirth that took hold in the 80's and 90's making Jerome a celebrated art and history destination now visited by more than a million people each year.
