A Book of New England Legends and Folk Lore, in… por Samuel Adams Drake

Stuffed with archaic local folklore and bits of history that might otherwise not be as readily available. It's quite beautifully written though some might find it stuffy. It was written a long while ago. I see it's been reprinted and is in hardcover. I've got an old paperback. Love browsing in this book.
