Skinner, a Brooklyn journalist, gathered the place-legends of the United States region by region: Rip Van Winkle and the gnomes of the Catskills, the Devil’s Dance-Chamber on the Hudson, the baker’s dozen of Albany, haunted houses, buried treasure, Indian legends and the witches of New England, among hundreds of short tales.

A treasury for readers who believe America too young for legends, and for anyone planning a haunted road trip. Download the free EPUB.
