South Mountain Sketches

Henry Shoemaker compiled these legendary tales set mostly in the southern counties of  Pennsylvania, such as Cumberland, Adams, York, Perry, Dauphin, and Berks. Shoemaker’s tales recall the transition of the landscape from forest to industrial logging and the decline of the native peoples as the European settlers advanced westward. This collection of tales has been modernized for 21st-century audiences but maintains the charm, wit, and suspense of the originals.          Aunt Tilly Henry’s Vision          There were Giants          Love Beyond the Grave          Conestoga            The White Lady of Pomfret Castle          The Lost Valley          Whippoorwill’s Shoes          The Star of the Glen          Ghosts of the Living          Fire for the Ghosts          The Proof of Ossian          A Ghost Flower          The Wolf’s Glen          The Blue Girl          The Black Cat at Peter Allen’s          The Squaw Man          Woodpecker’s Head          The Timber Line          The Scalp Bounty          Mary Casselman, Redemptioner          The North Bastion          The Hunter’s Moon          The Lion’s Garden          The Man of Peace Author: Henry Shoemaker   Foreword by: Lawrence Knorr Page Count: 238 Trim Size: 6 x 9 Publish Date: October 2, 2024 Imprint: Catamount Press Genre: Literary FICTION / Fairy Tales, Folk Tales, Legends & Mythology FICTION / Cultural Heritage FICTION / Small Town & Rural FICTION / Short Stories
