From Library Journal
Ronald (English, Univ. of Nevada, Reno) has combined a personal travelog with a literary review and produced a wonderfully imaginative narrative of the states west of the Missouri River. In each of the 17 chapters, she describes a particular area she visited and the "ghosts" that seem to emanate from it. From the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument in Montana south to a Texas horse auction in cowboy country, and from Oregon's misty graveyard-of-the-Pacific shore east to the Kansas plains, where the buffalo were slaughtered by the hundreds of thousands, Ronald intertwines firsthand accounts of those who made the places famous or infamous with her views of the places today. Mount Rushmore, mining country in Colorado, Death Valley, Georgia O'Keeffe's New Mexico, prewar and modern Tucson all are sites with "ghosts" that stimulate rich literary and artistic insights, geological and biological wonders, and historical significance. A skilled writer with many interests, Ronald has produced a wide-ranging work that is recommended for all libraries, especially those in the Western states.
