Ghost on the Aransas: Based on the True Story of Chipita Rodriguez (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781503218819)

It is said the restless spirit of Chipita Rodriguez can be seen wandering the banks of the Aransas River and nearby properties. In 1863, the grisly remains of a man's body was found floating in that same river. What followed was a veritable witch hunt of an elderly Hispanic American woman to answer for the crime. Who killed John Savage? Was it the elderly woman who owned the makeshift inn up the river? Or her slow thinking helping hand? Was it the pretty widow who must fend for herself after losing her husband in the Civil War? Or could it have been the handsome stranger from San Antonio? Or perhaps one of the many other faces of San Patricio. Ghost on the Aransas takes you on a journey into the south of Texas during a time of national upheaval, racial mistrust and wild speculation. Has Chipita returned from the grave to reveal a long-held secret?
