Haunted Heart of San Diego
Author: Brian Clune
Publisher: Arcadia Publishing
ISBN: 1439673632
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 160
Book Description
San Diego is known for its sunshine and beautiful beaches, but a dark history lurks beneath the surface. Shades of gamblers, thieves and gunfighters wander the streets, and the spirit of a young woman who died mysteriously haunts the halls of the Del. On the oldest sailing vessel in San Diego Harbor, the ghost of a small child stowaway plays with guests, and the Old Town Saloon occasionally hosts an eerie visitor seeking libations. Wyatt Earp haunts the very room he stayed in at the Horton Grand Hotel, and the former crewmembers of the USS Midway steadfastly man their posts, even after death. Join authors Brian Clune and Bob Davis as they recount the eerie tales of what may be California's most haunted city.

Philippine Studies

ISBN: 9715425917
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 791
Book Description
These essays by Philippine and U.S.-based scholars illustrate the dynamism and complexities of the discursive field of Philippine studies as a critique of vestiges of "universalist" (Western/hegemonic) paradigms; as an affirmation of "traditional" and "emergent" cultural practices; as a site for new readings of "old" texts and "new" popular forms brought into the ambit of serious scholarship; and as a liberative space for new art and literary genres.
