Folklore from the Adirondack Foothills

By Howard Thomas

Book Overview

Life in the Adirondack foothills has seldom been spectacular but folks who have lived and died in the hilly region north of the Mohawk Valley have left an heritage of folklore which has sprung up from a way of life which is peculiar to the area. Folklore from the Adirondack Foothills attempts to emphasize phases of life in the foothills. Here are yarns heard along the roads, tales of logging days on the rivers and creeks and in the sawmill hamlets, and pen-portraits of folks whose eccentricities lent a touch of color to the villages in which they once lived.
