Our sense of place is permeated by ghosts from the past. In
"GhostWest," Ann Ronald takes the reader to historical sites where
something once happened. Using the metaphor of hauntings, she
reflects on how western history, literature, and lore continue to
shape our visceral impressions of these sites.
In chapters both lyrical and thoughtful, passionate and
humorous, "GhostWest" covers sites in seventeen western states,
including the Little Bighorn Battlefield in Montana, Willa Cather's
Nebraska prairies, and the Murrah Building bombing site in
Oklahoma. Through these settings and their phantoms, the author
mulls questions of why we find such ambience and artifacts so
compelling.
