Haunted Montana by Ednor Therriault
Vigilante victims, murdered miners, and gunfight ghosts figure prominently in this collection of eerie tales from the Treasure State. From the windswept prairies in the east to the towering mountains of Glacier National Park come a variety of stories and legends, including a phantom cowboy who continues to ride his ghost horse up the staircase of a Fort Benton hotel, figures from a hundred years ago and more who roam the streets of ghost towns Virginia City and Bannack all hours of the night, and long-gone regulars who continue to visit their favorite bars.
Ednor Therriault has spent more than 20 years exploring Montana from corner to corner. He's authored two editions of Montana Curiosities, revised the current edition of Montana Off the Beaten Path, and has completed work on Yellowstone Myths and Legends, which includes in-depth historical information on Montana's gateway communities of Gardiner and West Yellowstone. Therriault brings the wit of a humorist, the fact-finding tenacity of a journalist, and a deep Montana pedigree to his work. His father, a decorated Marine pilot, was born in Missoula. His great-great-grandparents homesteaded along Douglas Creek in the Flint Valley in the late 1800s, and his grandfather mined for gold in Garnet, now Montana's best-preserved ghost town. Therriault also studies Native American history, and recognizes the importance of including Indian culture and narratives in his depictions of the complex history of Montana.
