Actually it was the names of Pile-of-Bones and Hot Springs that were lost, not the communities themselves. They were among a number of places in North America with names that were not considered proper. In the case of Pile-of-Bones, a group of citizens threatened to leave town if the name was not changed. In Hot Springs, the townspeople decided on a new name because of a radio program. Get the story behind the story in this second installment of Bill Russo's series of tales of Lost Cities - it's the followup to the short book "Getting Rid of Swillings Mills".
