Summary "Dartmoor" by Arthur L. Salmon is a descriptive work written in the early 20th century that highlights the geography, history, and folklore of Dartmoor, a vast and scenic moorland in Devon, England. This book serves as a beautiful account of the region, emphasizing its unique granite formations, rivers, and historical significance, along with an exploration of the mystical elements embedded in Dartmoor's culture and landscape. In "Dartmoor," Salmon presents a detailed account of the moor's topography, including its geological features, rivers, and ancient remnants of human habitation. He discusses the historic connections of the landscape with early inhabitants from the Neolithic era to the present, intertwining narratives of local legends and lore, such as those of Childe the Hunter and the spectral figures said to roam the moor. The book reflects on Dartmoor's ever-changing moods, from its tranquil beauty to the menacing aspects conjured by its storms and fogs, allowing readers to appreciate not just the physical but also the spiritual essence of this captivating region.
