Description
This view is a portion of the original Shakespeare ghost town in Hidalgo County, New Mexico (abandoned in 1929). It began as a stage stop but later became a mining town when silver was discovered nearby. In 1881, several cattle rustlers and former members of the Clanton gang (of Tombstone, AZ fame) were hanged here. Today the property is part of a privately-owned ranch. Best viewed large. Social media sharing always appreciated.
