ABOUT BRENT UNDERWOOD:
*Brent Underwood* is the owner of Cerro Gordo, an original boomtown silver mine, established in 1865. Brent currently lives on a mountain above Death Valley with no running water, seven cats, six goats, and at least one ghost.

ABOUT GHOST TOWN LIVING:

Brent Underwood's book, "Ghost Town Living," is about his unique journey of moving to Cerro Gordo, a desolate ghost town perched high above Death Valley. The town, once the largest silver mine in California, has a rich history but fell into abandonment. Underwood took up the challenge of reviving this town and making it his home. The book narrates his experiences with fires, floods, earthquakes, and even fame. It serves as a call to action to seek adventure, build something original, redefine work, and embrace the unknown. The story is as much about the town's revival as it is about Underwood's personal growth and the lessons he learned about self-sufficiency and problem-solving.
