<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Noted Montana author Earl Murray delves into the realms of the supernatural, with tales of a Civil War soldier who demands silence from tourists during his war-strategy meetings; La Llarona, the Weeping Woman, who roams the hills of the Spanish Southwest; and a wolf-girl spotted near Del Rio, Texas.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Even today the American West remains a frontier of mystery and intrigue, filled with the spirits of trappers and traders, Native Americans and settlers. These spirits have been sighted while haunting the West's beautiful and rugged land. In <i>Ghosts of the Old West</i>, acclaimed Western author Earl Murray conveys these stories in a narration so eerie and so chilling we advise reading this with all the lights on in the safety of your home. <p/>Saddle up, my friend, and take a ride into the unknown. Traveling through Murray's West, you'll encounter: a soldier at Fort Laramie, dead for almost two centuries, who still insists on silence during war-strategy meetings, and La Llarona, also known as the weeping woman, who roams the hills and valleys of the Spanish Southwest. You'll hear stories of the Little People with their hidden powers and the Snake People, who are feared by the Native Americans to this day. And many, many more. Come along my friend, but be wary--the night comes early out here, early and dark.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Earl Murray has a narrative gift that never flags." --<i>El Paso Herald-Post</i> <p/>"Murray is gripping storyteller who knows the land and the people he writes about." --<i>Elmer Kelton</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Earl Murray </b>once worked in botany and natural resource management.
