Book Description
"Myths and Legends of Our Own Land," written by Charles M. Skinner, is an enthralling collection that reveals the rich tapestry of folklore and legends that are woven into the fabric of American history and society. The myths, tales, and superstitions that have defined American identity are brought to life by Charles M. Skinner's painstaking research and compelling storytelling. The book explores the length and width of the country, presenting the distinctive storylines that have been passed down through generations, from the creepy ghost legends of New England to the heroic sagas of the Wild West. Skinner introduces readers to both human and supernatural characters, as well as the monuments and settings that inspired these stories, in his beautiful words. Skinner delivers a vibrant panorama of the cultural mosaic that is the United States, whether reciting Native American traditions, repeating colonial-era fables, or examining more recent folklore.
