Haunted West 5 stars
While shopping at a local Walmart the author was pleasantly surprised to run into this magazine at the check-out counter. Two very familiar faces of Buffalo Bill and Calamity Jane graced the cover of this intriguing publication. The magazine title "Haunted West" was a real eye catcher. The cover is extremely well done and was a reminder of wild west magazines from days gone by. I was proud to see a company that was trying to keep the spirit of the wild west alive, through stories of the free roaming ghosts, in old ghost towns, with Lawman and Outlaws of the old days, wandering the ether between worlds.
The magazine contains ninety-eight pages of stories, and it is packed with photos of well know and forgotten figures of the American west. The magazines content includes, an introduction, an explanation of how the west was won and five chapters that cover 1. Ruthless Outlaws, 2. Dangerous Lawman, 3. Hero's and Legends and lastly Bold Women and Infamous Cities. The stories are a wonderful confluence of myth and legend, against a background of sage brush and frontier dust. The cover price is $14.99 But it's well worth it, as this is a great collector's item for wild west enthusiasts.

Does Jesse Still prowl the James Farm?
The author has visited and spoken at the James Farm. So this story is my favorite and worth more research!
