Dubuque's Haunted History by Richard A. Barker

Instead of telling you about a book I have enjoyed reading, I am going to tell you about a book I am anxious to read. Dubuque’s Haunted History by Richard A. Barker will be published on February 14, 2011 by Arcadia Publishing.

Barker is a local author and principal investigator for Big Muddy Ghost Hunters in Dubuque. Mike Gibson from the Center for Dubuque History at Loras College wrote the preface and provided many of the photographs used in the book. Arcadia is the same company that published the James Schaffer/John Tigges pictorial books on Dubuque history.

Instead of looking for valentines this year, I’ll be looking for ghosts!
