Ghosts of the Last Best Place

By Ellen Baumler

Book Overview

With a ghostly twist on history, historian and award-winning author Ellen Baumler captures Montana's cultural heritage and brings the state's supernatural past to life.

Montana's past embodies the rough, unforgiving and often vicious nature of the old Wild West. Unscrupulous gold camps and railroad expansion attracted the good, bad and ugly from all across the Union and as far as China. Many a soul shed blood under the Big Sky, leaving restless spirits to linger.

Discover the famous cowboy artist who refuses to leave his Missoula home. Exhume the truth behind Stormit Butte, investigate the mystery at Brush Lake and become enraptured with the firsthand account of a Browning rancher's attempts at reconciliation with the ghost of a murdered Chinese rail laborer.

"Ellen Baumler explores hauntings across the state with the suspenseful voice of a campfire storyteller." --Missoula Independent
