The Legend of Red Ghost
November 29, 2011
One of the enduring, outrageous legends in Arizona is that a demonic, rogue camel with a skeleton on its back, killed and terrorized the country side for a decade in the 1880s. The "Red Ghost" was allegedly finally killed in a rancher's garden in eastern Arizona.
Going into the Beast today for a cardio doctor's appointment and then down to Arizona West Gallery to shoot some photos for a piece we're doing on the Top Ten Arizona Paintings. A Remington ("Fight for The Water Hole") is worth abut $7 million, but the Thomas Moran is worth $100 mil. Amazing.

Killed in a rancher's gardern, you say? Didn't know enough to stay clear of the rancher's wife? Anyone should know enough to stay out of the woman's garden!
