"Our sense of place today is permeated by ghosts from the past. In GhostWest, Ann Ronald takes the reader to actual 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.".
"Some of the locations might be characterized as tourist points; others are far more obscure, often deserted and forlorn. Many of the people involved had no sense of history as such. As Ronald writes, "They saw before them a territory with a future, not a past. That they were writing themselves into history as well never occurred to them.""--BOOK JACKET.
