Pennsylvania Fireside Tales

[jeff of pa]

Types of stories that will be found in each volume include:

Pennsylvania Indian legends, and tales from Pennsylvania's Indian wars: Accounts handed down from generation to generation in Pennsylvania families who first settled here and who experienced the trials and tribulations of border warfare and who heard original Native American legends from the Pennsylvania Indians themselves.


Supernatural Tales: Stories dealing with ancient Pennsylvania superstitions and fears about the devil, haunted houses, and witches who could ride broomsticks, turn themselves into black cats, or cause bodily harm to people and animals just by casting an evil spell.


Human Interest Episodes: Memories of lost treasures, hidden gold, moonshiners, gypsies, and enormous snakes, these are the "tall tales" that could often be heard when old-timers gathered around "pot belly" stoves of country stores or around the fireplaces of settlers' homesteads in the days when story-telling was the primary means of entertainment.
