Life in the Adirondack foothills has seldom been spectacular but folks who have lived and died in the hilly region north of the Mohawk Valley have left an heritage of folklore which has sprung up from a way of life which is peculiar to the area. Folklore from the Adirondack Foothills attempts to emphasize phases of life in the foothills. Here are yarns heard along the roads, tales of logging days on the rivers and creeks and in the sawmill hamlets, and pen-portraits of folks whose eccentricities lent a touch of color to the villages in which they once lived.

"My family lives in the Adirondacks, a section of New York State that has been favorable to the preservation of folklore. With a common background in England and America for life in a small community, we have kept alive many old tales, songs, sayings, and superstitions, which have always had a sort of fascination for us even though, when quoting some belief, we often qualified it with the remark, 'Of course, I don't believe that sort of thing.'"—from Lore of an Adirondack County Collecting songs, stories, and sayings passed down in her family—and in those of their friends and neighbors in Essex County, New York—Edith E. Cutting provides an invaluable compilation of Adirondack folklore, from lumberjack songs to tall tales about drinking, hunting, and French Canadians. Also included are legends about hidden treasure, weather lore, stories about ghosts and witches, recollections of folk medicines and children's games, and popular songs and ballads. Originally published by Cornell University Press in 1944, Lore of an Adirondack County remains a fresh and charming account of the folkways of New York State, showing how a single Adirondack family, aided by willing neighbors, 'yarned' and sang in the hills above Lake Champlain.

These stories tell of life, and lives lived in the forgotten days of the mountains and foothills of the great Adirondacks. The following stories here within are not true.Some are based on the truth of a myth, as I like to say. Leather Jack, follows somewhat of a true person.Of Old Hank; when my sister was young, our mother would tell her stories of "Old Hank."Old Hank was created by our mother, made up, he was and old man that for some reason had gone off to live by himself in a cave. 10 years younger than my sister, by the time I came along Old Hank, was kind of a family legend in story. The stories weren't really told to me as fully as they were to my sister, I being told bits and pieces. What I was never told was why Old Hank went off to live in a cave. Maybe there wasn't even a real beginning, to these stories, just a fanciful, "Once upon a time, there was an old man who lived in a cave."Half a century later, I have decided to give Old Hank a beginning.

An easy-to-use guide to American regional folklore with advice on conducting research, regional essays, and a selective annotated bibliography. American Regional Folklore begins with a chapter on library research, including how to locate a library suitable for folklore research, how to understand a library's resources, and how to construct a research strategy. Mood also gives excellent advice on researching beyond the library: locating and using community resources like historical societies, museums, fairs and festivals, storytelling groups, local colleges, newspapers and magazines, and individuals with knowledge of the field. The rest of the book is divided into eight sections, each one highlighting a separate region (the Northeast, the South and Southern Highlands, the Midwest, the Southwest, the West, the Northwest, Alaska, and Hawaii). Each regional section contains a useful overview essay, written by an expert on the folklore of that particular region, followed by a selective, annotated bibliography of books and a directory of related resources.

"Written by renowned Native author, poet, and storyteller Joseph Bruchac, this book is a collection of stories and essays centered around the author's home and the traditional Abenaki lunar cycles of a year, exposing the natural world and our connection to the land, the plants, and the animals that surround us.
