Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Juniata Memories: Legends Collected in Central Pennsylvania Whether one cares for stories of war or the chase, of Indians or English, of religion or of love, he will find his own in Mr. Shoemaker´s eight volumes about Central Pennsylvania. My own life-study has been religion, and it was because I saw the value for that study in these tales that I noticed them, in 1914, in The Pennsylvania Magazine. One of our modern religious problems is: How is the mind of man constructed? How does it work? Are our minds the same as those of the prophets and evangelists? For this reason the study of folklore has become an important branch of the science of religion. In folklore we see the mind of Abraham Lincolns "plain people" at work. From these workings we can often get glimpses into the mind of primitive man. Every locality, therefore, should collect its folktales, and Mr. Shoemaker has done yeoman service to science by his collection. Moreover, there is a charm and a life in the teller´s way of telling that gives a zest to the reader. One can smell the pines and breathe the mountain air.
