 The Gray Ghost is one of a series of children's adventure books written in the 1920s and early 30's about a fun-loving gang of kids who have adventures and meet interesting folks. At the end of To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus begins to read The Gray Ghost to Scout, and she describes an incident in one of books, in which a character called Three-Finger Pete ( a character not unlike Boo Radley, who was suspected of being weird, bad and a thief) was not really bad at all, but a very nice person, Atticus remarks that most people are, when you get to know them. That's the message that Harper Lee wanted to leave with her readers, and using The Gray Ghost was a very appropriate choice, considering the time and setting of the novel. When Harper Lee was growing up, her brother had a set of the books, and she borrowed them and read them many times over.  Source:  The "author"/narrator of The Gray Ghost and the other books in the series was called Seckatary Hawkins.( spelling correct name of author) If you search out the Wikipedia article on his name, you'll find out more about the series, the real author, and links to the fan site for the actual books and the long-running club.
