Description

The author traces the life, death, and unsettled afterlife of her great-great-grandmother Julia, whose ghost is said to haunt an elegant Santa Fe hotel. "La Posada -- 'Place of rest' -- had been a grand Santa Fe home before it was converted to a hotel. The room with the canopy bed had belonged to Julia Schuster Staab, the wife of the home's original owner. She died in 1896, nearly a century before the hauntings were first reported. Here the author traces the life, death and unsettled afterlife of her great-great-grandmother Julia and her family, from Julia's childhood in Germany to her years in the American West with her Jewish merchant husband, to the spas and seance rooms of the late nineteenth century, to World War II and beyond" -- Book jacket.
