About the author
Michael Henry is the author of Ghosts of St. Charles, published by The History Press in 2010 and reissued the same year in a Library Editions format. The book covers St. Charles, Missouri, the second-oldest city in the state and one of the oldest in the United States, tracing its history of street violence and frontier lawlessness alongside the ghost stories attached to its riverfront and older buildings. Written for a general audience interested in local history and legend, it follows the standard format of the History Press's regional ghost-story series, pairing short historical background with accounts of reputed hauntings tied to specific locations around the city. The book treats St. Charles' past as a source of both documented history and enduring local folklore.
