The forts of Texas stand like silent sentinels. Their legends and stories are ghostly reminders of a past steeped in history. Tales of Indians wrapped in white buffalo robes and a ghostly lady delivering white roses to an officer's desk are woven with historical facts, placing the reader in the midst of the action. Photographs send the reader back in time as haunted souls of long lost legends fill the pages.

Texas Haunted Forts,
By A Customer
This review is from: Texas Haunted Forts (Paperback)
You don't have to be a Texan to be fascinated by the stories in this book. Anyone who loves history or who has an interest in the paranormal will be intrigued. I've given numerous copies as gifts and the recipients really liked them. Not every story is appropriate for young children but this would be a great book for students in upper grades to read to learn about the frontier through stories that are easy and enjoyable to read.

Interesting stories,
By APR "APR" (Southwest USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Texas Haunted Forts (Paperback)
The stories were interesting, but the writing was challenging - IE, characters tossed into the narrative with little or no explanation, sometimes unclear what happened when and to who (whom?), and most annoying, the use of dialogue between individuals long departed, at times ludicrous and unnecessary to the tale. Better to have cited direct quotes and stuck to narration of events. Also, I wondered at the author's happening on so many manifestations of the ghostly goings on, as if they were staged for her by the ghosts. The book would have benefited by a skilled edit before publication. Still, the stories were interesting, chopping writing or not.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Texas Haunted Forts is a really good read. I also garnered some genealogical info from the book. I highly recommend this book.,

This review is from: Texas Haunted Forts (Paperback)
This book gives directions to all the Forts mentioned. It gives much info on the people who lived in and around them. The very short stories of each Fort makes for reading and then picking up again to read about another area.
