| - A 1958 historical YA with supernatural elements by Elizabeth Marie Pope. When Peggy Grahame's father dies, she is sent to the old family home, Rest-and-be-thankful, in upstate New York to live with her cantankerous uncle Enos. Upon her arrival, she soon encounters an English university student, Pat Thorne, who's doing research on his family's history in the area... as well as Rest-and-be-thankful's resident ghosts, her Revolutionary War-era ancestors. And the ghosts prove to be quite chatty. The four of them - Barbara Grahame, Richard Grahame, Eleanor Shipley, and Peaceable Drummond Sherwood - seek Peggy out over the course of several weeks to tell her each of their parts in the Grahame family's Revolution narrative. Their tale runs parallel to Peggy's own budding romance with Pat and helps her solve a little family mystery of her own.
