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).

The author of the book, Charles Skinner, considers that America lacks its own myths and legends that give so much charm to the picturesque chalets and ruins of Europe. Yet, he believes that this aspect of cultural life develops every day from the thousands of spoken stories. He aimed to collect these stories into a book to document the beginnings of American folklore.
