Fort Douglas
Most of Utah's ghost towns grew out of mining projects beginning in the mid
1860s.  The mining industry was started by soldiers from Fort Douglas, and their first Commander, Col. Patrick Conner, was involved with several sites that are now ghost towns.  Many of the buildings at Fort Douglas were built at the same time as the ghost towns, but being of more durable materials they still stand today.  Military forces in Utah played an important role in the late 19th century, protecting mines and miners, keeping hostile Indians in check, and eventually suppressing labor strife in the coal mines.
