Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Legends of Woburn: Now First Written and Preserved in Collected Form to Which Is Added a Chrono-Indexical History of Woburn ´Tis sweet to ramble in the fields of legendary lore; to pick up the uncut diamonds lying imbedded in the dust of the past; to see the incipient glimmer, which, through the thin covering, tells of the possibilities within; to take these neglected gems of story and history, and bring out their hidden beauties, by latest verbal cut and polish, so that they may be acceptable at our modem literary feasts. Every country has its national stories, historical and mythical, peculiar to itself; and every hamlet its local ditties, dear to its inhabitants, which, in very many places, have been written and preserved, as they ought to be in all others. Now even here, in our own City, we have our Indian, Historical and other Legends, which hitherto have been utterly neglected. Some are weird and imaginative. Those of Indian origin are most beautiful in conception. Others treat of persons and places, so therefore are of historical value, all of which are here now for the first time, written and given to the public. These were mostly handed down in times, when the telling of them constituted part of the evening amusements of the winter fireside, and the delight of boys and girls of a summer night, all of which are rapidly fading away.
