Susquehanna Legends

Henry Shoemaker compiled these legendary tales set in the Endless Mountains of western and central Pennsylvania. 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.
