{"product_id":"ghosts-along-the-mississippi-river-alan-brown-9781617031441","title":"Ghosts Along the Mississippi River","description":"Some of the nation's most compelling ghost stories owe their origin to \"The Father of Waters.\" \u003ci\u003eGhosts along the Mississippi River\u003c\/i\u003e is the first book-length collection of ghost tales from the small towns and bustling cities that have grown up along its banks. The states represented in this book include Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Tennessee, and Wisconsin. Unlike most collections of \"true\" ghost stories, \u003ci\u003eGhosts along the Mississippi River\u003c\/i\u003e draws from the folk traditions of the northern and the southern United States. These tales are populated with Federal and Confederate soldiers, Native Americans, wealthy entrepreneurs, actors, college students, hotel owners, preachers, slaves, and planters. According to some paranormal investigators, the large number of ghost stories from the Mississippi's river towns, and from watery sites all over the world, are proof that large bodies of water are conductors of psychic energy. Granted, no concrete proof exists that there is a definite connection between the river and any actual ghosts or spiritual phenomena. What is indisputable, though, is the fact that the ghost stories included in \u003ci\u003eGhosts along the Mississippi River\u003c\/i\u003e are an invaluable record of the values, dreams, fears, and lives of the people who have called the river home.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alan Brown\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1617031445\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781617031441\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.34w x 0.77d","brand":"Alan Brown","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054809575679,"sku":"9781617031441","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9ae359b7-b24c-4ece-859b-2953755345c6.jpg?v=1685032124","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ghosts-along-the-mississippi-river-alan-brown-9781617031441","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
