Produktbeschreibung

In this first book in the series Tall Tales from the High Plains & Beyond. In Book One: The Unexplained and Other Stories, you get up-close-and-personal with characters and events involved in the expansion and development of the American frontier. These sixty-nine true stories, presented in brief, snapshot narratives, feature ghosts, unsolved mysteries, lost treasures, flimflam men, cowboys on strike, a phantom train and other sometimes bizarre events, such as:

• Three prospectors take shelter from a winter storm in a place they dubbed Dead Man Cave and discover human bones and shelves of gold bars. Upon returning in the spring, they're unable to locate the entrance.
• The engineer of a D&RG passenger train maneuvers across the Continental Divide and spots a phantom train bearing down on him. Unable to escape, he braces for a catastrophe
• During a wedding reception at a fort in New Mexico Territory, the doors fling open and standing in the entrance is the apparition of a dead soldier, once the suitor of the new bride.
• Emerging from a strange mist on the Platte River is a ghostlike sailing ship that carries the omen of death for anyone who sees it.
• Hoofbeats thunder across the remote hills of south Texas and cowboys gathered around a campfire witness a large black mustang carrying a headless horseman into the night.
