About the author
Jeanine Plumer is the author of Haunted Austin: History and Hauntings in the Capital City, published by History Press in 2010 and listed here in two editions. The book traces Austin's history through its reported hauntings, opening with an 1885 case involving the murder of servant girls, said to be an early documented instance of a serial killer in an American city, and moving through sites including the Texas State Capitol grounds. Plumer's approach ties specific historical crimes and events to particular locations still standing in the city, in the format typical of History Press's local-history and ghost-lore series. The book is aimed at readers interested in Austin's past and at those planning to visit the sites it describes.
