Description

You've probably read enough books on Old West ghost stories to turn blue in the face by now. But what about a tome of bonafide mummy stories from North America's pioneer period? That's right, Egypt isn't the only place on Earth famous for mummies. Beneath North America's desert sands are not only mummified remains, but entire cities of the dead in some places. For instance, ever hear of Death Valley's infamous City of the Dead? What about the twisted tale of David E. George, who claimed to be a surviving John Wilkes Booth and became a famous sideshow mummy after committing suicide? How about Elmer McCurdy, an outlaw who only achieved fame after he, too, was mummified and turned into a circus attraction? In this book, prepare to learn about a veritable army of mummies from North America's past such as Queho, the mummified bandit of Helldorado, Nevada; Billy the Kid's pickled trigger finger; California's gigantic conquistador mummy of Cantua Creek; Sylvester, the mysterious outlaw mummy unearthed along Arizona's Gila Bend; a mummified body from Mars buried in a lonely Texas cemetery; and the Aztec princess that rests in a treasure cavern hidden by Montezuma himself!
