Myths & Legends of Our Own Land, Vol. 2

Here in two concise volumes are the complete writings of folklorist Charles Skinner, originally published in nine books in 1896, and considered a primary source by generations of researchers and readers of American cultural history and literature. Volume 2 includes more supernatural and spooky stories of New England, the Gothic South, the Great Lakes, the Rocky Mountains, and the Pacific Coast. With such evocative titles as "The Skeleton in Armor," "The Sacred Fire of Natchez," "The Crime of Black Swamp," and "Banshee of the Bad Lands," these thrilling tales are as eerie as they are enlightening. In addition to his extensive collections of folklore, CHARLES MONTGOMERY SKINNER (1852-1907) also authored Little Gardens: How to Beautify City Yards and Small Country Spaces (1904).
