The Ghost of Panna Maria

by Rita Kerr

Overview

In the year 1854, under the leadership of Father Leopold Moczygemba, the first Polish settlement of America was founded at Panna Maria, Texas. After enduring a long, perilous voyage from Poland, the first Polish settlers faced many hardships in Texas. These included snakes, droughts, and Indians.

The historical facts in this book are documented. The ghost stories are based on folk tales and, perhaps, fiction.
