520			_a"Myths and Legends of Our Own Land — Volume 03: on and near the Delaware" by Charles M. Skinner is a collection of folklore and historical anecdotes written in the late 19th century. This volume delves into the rich tapestry of myths and legends rooted in the landscapes and events surrounding the Delaware, exploring themes of the supernatural intertwined with notable historical moments from the American Revolution. Skinner presents these tales with a sense of reverence for the past and an appreciation for the myths that shaped local culture. The book features a variety of stories, each highlighting different characters and events, ranging from love and sacrifice to supernatural occurrences. Tales include the eerie account of the "Phantom Dragoon," a ghostly figure haunting the battlefield, and the tragic love story of Colonel Howell and Ruth, which unfolds against the backdrop of war and betrayal. Other legends, like "The Last Revel in Printz Hall" and "Saved by the Bible," evoke the spirit of the time through captivating narratives that reflect the emotions and struggles of individuals during the Revolutionary period. Throughout the collection, Skinner captures not only the essence of local history but also the enduring power of storytelling in preserving cultural identity.
