Summary "Myths and Legends of Our Own Land — Volume 02 : the Isle of Manhattoes and…" by Charles M. Skinner is a collection of folk tales and legends focusing on the history and lore of the Isle of Manhattoes and its surrounding areas, written during the late 19th century. This book captures a blend of adventure, eeriness, and local color, providing insight into various myths that reflect the cultural heritage of early New York and its inhabitants. In this volume, Skinner presents a series of engaging stories that revolve around characters both real and fantastical. Notable narratives include the tale of Dolph Heyliger, a young man who encounters a ghostly burgomaster and discovers treasure hidden in a well; the tragic love story of a widow who finally finds closure at her second wedding; and various accounts of encounters with supernatural beings, such as ghosts, witches, and the devil himself. Each story brings to life the unique folklore of the region, illustrating moral lessons, the consequences of greed, and the complexities of love and loss, ultimately intertwining the human experience with the mystical elements that shape local history.
