This review is from: Riders in the Sky: The Ghosts and Legends of Philmont Scout Ranch (Paperback)

This book is only 105 pages long (not the stated 128 pages); the type is very large and it is printed on cheap paper (nice cover though). You'll have to be really interested in Philmont if you want to believe you've gotten your money's worth. good stories.

This review is from: Riders in the Sky: The Ghosts and Legends of Philmont Scout Ranch (Paperback)

This is an excellent book if you have lived and loved Philmont. Warning though!! If you have not been to philmont then you may not beleive some of the stories. I, for one, have seen some of the ghosts of philmont and have a few more that I would like to talk to Mike Connelly myself. Excellent book.
