| Publisher Description: What do the Dorsey Mansion, Fort Union, the Vietnam Memorial Chapel, Quarai, White Sands, and Coronado State Monument in New Mexico have in common? They all have ghosts connected with their histories Alice says, "The ghosts in this volume are all 'residents' of national or state monuments. But the ghosts in New Mexico, unlike those of say, the British Isles, are rarely vicious or frightening. They are gentle ghosts and more afraid of us, apparently, than we are of them." Alice Bullock shares these and other ghostly tales with us in this collection of Southwestern legends, all explained in twenty stories that include the mysterious "Blue Lady" of Quarai National Monument. * ** * * Alice Bullock explored "the land of enchantment" in depth, ferreting out the legends and folklore of New Mexico. An "almost-native" New Mexican (she arrived in the area at age eight) Alice grew up in Gardiner and graduated from Colfax County High School in Raton. She became a country school teacher and then a reporter and freelance writer. She is also the author of "Mountain Villages of New Mexico," "Loretto and the Miraculous Staircase," and "Living Legends of the Santa Fe Country," all from Sunstone Press. |
