Stagecoach robberies. Shoot-outs. Striking it rich. Throughout the Wild West small towns were formed, thriving with men and women from the East and gold from the mines. Notorious outlaws, desperadoes, and gunslingers rustled up trouble in town after town. When the gold disappeared, the outlaws, as well as the local folks, abandoned their towns. Or did they?
There are still sounds, not just the paint peeling from the deserted storefronts, or the tumbleweeds whispering as they somersault down the empty streets. There are voices, whispering stories--are they real or imagined? Stories like the one about the Lost Mine in Maiden, Texas, or the Bad Man from Bodie, California, who's still searching for his lost finger. . . .
Nice, entertaining read
| Customer Rating: | | The kids' dialogues echo my own kid's whining, so I chuckled during most of the stories. Each story has a nice lesson. The stories are nice, for the most part. A couple are mildly creepy. I like the history in each story as well. |
A chilling collection of western ghost stories.
| Customer Rating: | | Each of the seven stories in this book has as its setting a different western ghost town and is about a kid's encounter with a ghost or ghosts in that town. The seven towns are Tombstone, Arizona; Shakespeare, New Mexico; Maiden, Montana; Virginia City, Nevada; Grafton, Utah; Bodie, California; and Fort Griffin, Texas. My two favorites in the collection were Buried (set in Shakespeare) and The Magic Eye (set in Grafton), which certainly taught the lesson to be careful what you wish for! I would reccomend this collection to kids who enjoy reading ghost stories or who are interested in ghost towns. |
