Book Description
Myths and Legends of Our Own Land Volume 2 By Charles M. Skinner Behind the New Grand Hotel, in the Catskills, is an amphitheatre of mountain that is held to be the place of which the Mohicans spoke when they told of people there who worked in metals, and had bushy beards and eyes like pigs. From the smoke of their forges, in autumn, came the haze of Indian summer; and when the moon was full, it was their custom to assemble on the edge of a precipice above the hollow and dance and caper until the night was nigh worn away. They brewed a liquor that had the effect of shortening the bodies and swelling the heads of all who drank it, and when Hudson and his crew visited the mountains, the pygmies held a carouse in his honor and invited him to drink their liquor. The crew went away, shrunken and distorted by the magic distillation, and thus it was that Rip Van Winkle found them on the eve of his famous sleep.

Book Description
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.
