Henry Shoemaker compiled these folk tales set in the Bald Eagle Mountains of central Pennsylvania. Shoemaker’s stories recall the decline of big game in the region and the exit 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.

Circa l’autore
Born into wealth and raised in New York City, Henry Shoemaker (1880-1958) spent his summers at the family estate in Mc Elhattan, PA, and there fell in love with the state’s mountains and people. During a long and varied career, Shoemaker wrote hundreds of articles and books on the disappearing Pennsylvania wilderness and its people and culture. A founder of the Pennsylvania Folklore Society, he also served as the Commonwealth’s first state folklorist from 1946 to 1958.
