The New England heritage is rich in history, folklore, and legend. Here the author presents a selection of early Yankee tales which have lived with great vitality through the years. Whether droll, humorous, grim, sad, or informative, all are entertaining. Included among them are the stories of New England explorations, colonial days, witches, pirates, criminals, buried treasures, shipwrecks, haunted houses, and Indian legends. Lewis A. Taft, New England born and bred, has loved and collected these tales for as long as he can remember. and he retells them with a freshness faithful to the spirit in which they were first narrated by master storytellers.--From publisher description.
