Ghost Town Stories of the Red Coat Trail by Johnnie Bachusky Pdf

The Red Coat Trail of southern Saskatchewan and southeastern Alberta runs near the route of the North West Mounted Police's famous 1874 March West. Today, this lonely highway passes through a windswept land of ghostly abandoned towns. Johnnie Bachusky takes readers back to the heyday of these towns, which sprang up as settlers travelled west during the last great land rush. The Roaring Twenties brought bumper harvests, but also bootleggers and bank robbers; fortunes were won and lost in high-stakes poker games. The Great Depression devastated the region as disease, drought, dust storms and grasshoppers took their toll. History comes to life in these exciting true stories, from an account of a 1920s bank robbery in Manyberries to the tales of a boisterous Govenlock rancher who hunted with Buffalo Bill Cody and Wild Bill Hickok.

From early spring through late fall, nearly one hundred thousand people hike or bike the Ghost Town Trail that winds its way through the Laurel Highlands of Pennsylvania. Its beauty is legendary and so are its ghosts. To solve the mysteries of the trail, renowned ghostologist, C. L.

Don't be afraid...they won't hurt you. Much. Whether you believe in the supernatural or not, do yourself a favor: Read Ghost Tales from the Ghost Trail. Examine the photographs of disembodied spirits and the locations of ghostly sights included in the book. Then be prepared to shiver.
