Ive been trying to track down a book I read and loved as a kid and have searched for, but can't remember the author or title, so thought maybe the fediverse could help me track it down.

I read it in the late 80's / early 90's, but I remember the cover art being a bit "old fashioned" so it technically could have been published the 70's or earlier.

The story revolved around a kid/kids moving to (or just spending the summer at) an old American farmhouse that was haunted by the ghost of a young boy in "wild west" style clothes. The main plot is the kids solving the mystery of the ghost boys death, that involved a train heist 100 years earlier and the boy being killed for betraying the gang who did the heist.

I think. like I say, I read it 30+ years ago, but remember loving it and would now love to read it to my kids.

Any ideas out there? Anyone remember a book like that?

I started writing on Substack to talk about the process a manuscript takes in traditional publishing, and how to navigate the process without losing the book's soul.

It's a happy story that starts at the end of many rejections, and I'll post some threads in case the takeaways are faster/easier to get here vs. Substack. The site is The Bird's Eye, and it's completely free and goes to folks' inboxes every other week.
