Henry W Shoemaker 
Black Forest Souvenirs 

Henry Shoemaker compiled these folk tales set in the Black Forest of north-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.
