Description:Henry W. Shoemaker (1880-1958) was known for his deep love for the wilderness and native cultures of Pennsylvania. The state's first official folklorist, he wrote more than twenty books detailing Pennsylvania's modern mythology. Pennsylvania Mountain Stories is perhaps Shoemaker's definitive collection of folktales.The idea for this book came to Shoemaker during his college years, when he spent his vacations traveling through the mountains of Pennsylvania--on foot, on horseback, or by buggy. He claimed that he heard the stories, "mostly after supper," from people he met at lumber camps, farmhouses, and backwoods taverns. "As so many of the tales are devoted to subjects of a more or less supernatural order they cannot very well be true," he writes, but then hastens to add, "neither are they of the author's invention."In this ethereal space between fact and fiction, Pennsylvania Mountain Stories reveals the values, the passions, the obsessions of the people who told them. This volume, published under the Metalmark Books imprint, contains a facsimile reproduction of the 1911 edition, originally published by the Reading Times Publishing Company.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
