The book serves as a cultural and historical snapshot of American folklore and storytelling, providing readers with a glimpse into the rich and varied traditions of the country's past.1896. Our publication contains Volumes 1 and 2 of the original work. An attempt has been made in this work to assemble only legends for certain occurrences that are taught in history, like the story of Captain Smith and Pocahontas. The bibliography of American legends is slight, and these tales were gathered from diverse sources: records, histories, newspapers, magazines, oral narrative, in every case reconstructed.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
