Why do humans need ghosts? And what do our ghosts have to teach us?Gaines Quammen looks history straight in the eye.LEAH SOTTILE, Blazing Eye Sees AllThis Haunted Land investigates some of Americas most enduring legends and uncovers how ghost stories can illuminate some of the most unsettling parts of history. With curiosity, a touch of skepticism, and an open-hearted willingness to learn from the living and the dead, Betsy Gaines Quammen takes readers on a journey into haunted towns, forgotten lives, and abandoned places. From a once-booming uranium mining community in Colorado to a fort on the coast of Florida that predates the United States itself, this riveting exploration of memory, mourning, folklore, and social anxiety shows that politicized efforts to rewrite history can only be defeated by bearing witness to the specters of the past.©2026 Torrey House Press (P)2026 Blue Nose Publishing Americas Customs & Traditions Social Sciences United States
