Impeccably researched and meticulously written, Ann Alexander Leggett and Jordan Alexander Leggett continue to elevate the genre with their investigations into one of Denver's oldest-and most intriguing-landmarks: Fire Station 1. A must-read for aficionados of both history and the supernatural alike, this book covers the history of the station, profiles of some of the brave men who lived at Station 1 and fought Denver's fires, and the spirits which now reside within its walls. It was 1909 when Station 1 was built at 1326 Tremont Place, in Denver. For sixty-six years, until it was decommissioned in 1975, it was occupied by many of Denver's bravest firefighters. It's now the Denver Firefighters Museum-dedicated to the history of the Denver Fire Department-and packed to the gills with apparatus, equipment and displays of days past. The history comes alive here in more ways than one; you can feel it as soon as you walk through the original front doors. Tales of hauntings, interwoven with the history, are common knowledge. What spirits haunt Station 1? You are about to find out.
About the Author: Ann Alexander Leggett wears many hats. She and her son created and run Plus Modern Skin, a natural skin care company; she is an author; and she is the owner of OceanGirl Design, handling PR and marketing for a variety of clients. Her lifelong love of history and ghosts, however, continues to find its way into several of her projects. Ann is the coauthor of two older ghost books, "Haunted Boulder" and "Haunted Boulder 2." She recently coauthored "A Haunted History of Denver's Croke-Patterson Mansion" and "Ghosts of Boulder" with her daughter Jordan. Ann attended the University of Colorado-Boulder, graduating with a degree in Journalism. Jordan Alexander Leggett was blessed with an interest in literacy from both parents; her mother encouraged proper speech and spelling, while her father introduced her to Anne Rice novels at an improbably young age, something that definitely influenced her deep interest in creepiness. While a late reader, once she began, she never stopped, and had always hoped to become a writer from a young age. The fact that she can write about her bizarre/occult interests is just the icing on the cake. She has a degree in literature from the University of Washington, and is currently making a living as a craft bartender.
