Haunted Vicksburg

Perched on a bluff overlooking the Mississippi River, Vicksburg is renowned for its history as a Civil War battlefield, and has become a popular tourist spot for its antebellum homes and beautiful magnolias. But it is also a city rich with ghost stories. In this book, you’ll discover tales of slaves, soldiers, and wealthy planters—and enjoy visits to such supernatural spots as the Duff Green Mansion, the Old Courthouse Museum, Stained-Glass Manor, Vicksburg National Military Park, and more.

Um höfundinn
Alan Brown was born in Alton, Illinois. After attending Millikin University, Southern Illinois University and the University of Illinois, he taught high school in Springfield, Illinois. In 1986, he began teaching English at the University of West Alabama. After living in the South for a year, Brown became interested in the folklore of the South and began collecting it on his own. "People talk in the Midwest, "? Brown said, "but not like they do in the South. I guess this is why southerners are great storytellers."? When he is not teaching freshman composition or American literature, Dr. Brown writes books on his favorite topic: ghost stories. Haunted Birmingham is his tenth collection of southern ghost tales. As much as he loves old stories that send shivers up the spine, Brown's first love is his wife, Marilyn, and his two daughters, Andrea and Vanessa.
