Frozen in time: the slanting buildings, the wagon wheels, and the children’s birth-death dates on headstones instill a chill for the visitor to Elkhorn, Montana. Colleen Clancy Hansen’s story "Ghost Children" transports you to Montana’s Elkhorn of the past, when it was a thriving mining town. Through the eyes of Pansy, a young girl, who escaped the fate of so many other Elkhorn children, we experience the diphtheria epidemic that devastated the once prosperous town in the harsh year of 1889. Illustrated with photographs.
