The author of the book, Charles Skinner, considers that America lacks its own myths and legends that give so much charm to the picturesque chalets and ruins of Europe. Yet, he believes that this aspect of cultural life develops every day from the thousands of spoken stories. He aimed to collect these stories into a book to document the beginnings of American folklore.
Charles M. Skinner wrote at approximately the time that the frontier closed. It was a time when the US was starting to enter the world stage, and was in the process of building a national, as well as a number of regional mythologies. In the process, many stories which were apocryphal or pure inventions were elevated to the status of folklore. Mixed into this collection are many stories which are from Native American sources.
Charles M. Skinner was a 19th century American writer best known for collecting and publishing myths, legends, and folklore. We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works.

Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work.
