Myths and Legends of Our Own Land — Volume 03 : on and near the Delaware

"Myths and Legends of Our Own Land — Volume 03: on and near the Delaware" by Charles M. Skinner is a compilation of old stories and real-life accounts from the area around the Delaware River, sharing bits of American folklore from long ago. These stories mix mysterious events with important times in history, like the American Revolution, showing love, loss, and brave acts. Through tales like the ghostly "Phantom Dragoon" and the sad romance of Colonel Howell and Ruth, Skinner pulls readers back in time. Each story helps build a picture of the past, showing how legends and storytelling keep the memory of that time alive and teach us important lessons about who we are as a community.
