With boundless curiosity, Dickey conjures the dead by focusing on questions of the living -- how do we deal with stories about ghosts, and how do we inhabit and move through spaces that have been deemed haunted? Paying attention not only to the true facts behind a ghost story, but also to the ways in which changes are made to those facts and why, Dickey paints a version of American history left out of the textbooks, one of things left undone and crimes left unsolved. -- $c from dust jacket. 650 0 $a Haunted places $z United States. 941 $a 38 952 $l GYPE631 $d 20240626015604.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417013602.0 952 $l GOPG641 $d 20240409024720.0 952 $l GMPD771 $d 20230210020823.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20230201013444.0 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909042159.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211106010027.0 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722053546.0 952 $l YEPF572 $d 20200204084552.0 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20200110070455.0 952 $l D8PD522 $d 20191211012024.0 952 $l AAPF906 $d 20190717032427.0 952 $l TOPB062 $d 20190501012632.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20181107051122.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006101549.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720045344.0 952 $l OPAX566 $d 20170923010154.0 952 $l GUPF501 $d 20170801011051.0 952 $l UJPE911 $d 20170607014310.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418120353.0 952 $l YMPD532 $d 20170325011736.0 952 $l TGPD826 $d 20170324033104.0 952 $l TCPG826 $d 20170209010848.0 952 $l BBPC251 $d 20170203022022.0 952 $l VKPE334 $d 20170128011126.0 952 $l ZBPE245 $d 20170106012322.0 952 $l YTPG232 $d 20161216033400.0 952 $l TFPI826 $d 20161216032940.0 952 $l CYPF706 $d 20161216010851.0 952 $l ESPD725 $d 20161206011103.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20161130010859.0 952 $l VTPD454 $d 20161129094315.0 952 $l ZAPB232 $d 20161119011411.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20161109053335.0 952 $l XBPE737 $d 20161103033759.0 952 $l CDPF771 $d 20161103011550.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20161102012023.0 952 $l OCPA943 $d 20161015010326.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=43182D928B8A11E6A6C758ADDAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
