Pennsylvania Fireside Tales Volume 4

<p><em style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(56 52 15 1)>Volume Four</em><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(56 52 15 1)> of the Pennsylvania Fireside Tales series contains more of the old-time Pennsylvania mountain legends and folktales collected by the author over the last fifty years. Just like in his previous editions this volume will entertain those who enjoy reading about Pennsylvania's early highlanders and their stories that have come down to the present day over the currents of oral history and tradition. Readers will find themselves transported back to the times when the state's mountains were still inhabited by wolves panthers witches ghosts Indians and other throw-backs to a harder yet simpler age. Today that era still seems to beckon to us from the depths of cool mountain hollows and from the windy heights of Pennsylvania's tradition-steeped peaks. And as the frantic pace of modern-day life increases the allure of the old tales seems to grow stronger drawing us back to a seemingly pleasanter and slower time when a good storyteller was appreciated as much as a good book is today. </span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(56 52 15 1)>In this volume:</span></p><ul><li><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(56 52 15 1)>Will-o'-the-Wisp</span></li><li><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(56 52 15 1)>The Ghostly Lantern</span></li><li><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(56 52 15 1)>Punxsutawney</span></li><li><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(56 52 15 1)>A Trophy Buck</span></li><li><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(56 52 15 1)>God's Warriors</span></li><li><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(56 52 15 1)>Man's Best Friend(ly Ghost)</span></li><li><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(56 52 15 1)>Raven's Knob</span></li><li><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(56 52 15 1)>Big Cats of the Big Woods</span></li><li><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(56 52 15 1)>The Beaver Dam Witch</span></li><li><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(56 52 15 1)>Council Rocks</span></li><li><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(56 52 15 1)>Frozen in Time</span></li><li><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(56 52 15 1)>Spitzbuben</span></li><li><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(56 52 15 1)>Maids of the Mist</span></li><li><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(56 52 15 1)>Bear Tracks</span></li><li><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(56 52 15 1)>White Lady of the Gyp</span></li><li><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(56 52 15 1)>Stragglers</span></li></ul>
