| Summary | "Myths and Legends of Our Own Land — Volume 07: Along the Rocky Range" by Charles M. Skinner is a collection of folklore and narratives centered on the region of the Rocky Mountains. Written during the late 19th century, this book reflects the rich tapestry of American folklore, weaving together tales that explore the myths, legends, and the cultural heritage of Native American tribes, as well as the early European settlers' encounters with the land and its spiritual significance. The book consists of various stories that delve into the mystical and natural world, such as "The Phantom Train of Marshall Pass," an eerie tale involving a ghostly train chasing an engineer, and "The River of Lost Souls," which recounts the mysterious disappearance of a Spanish regiment. Other narratives include tales of bravery and sacrifice, like the story of Ta-in-ga-ro, who avenges his wife, and the legend of the horned toad which helps a brave warrior defeat giants. Skinner captures the essence of the relationship between the people and their environment, often infusing moral lessons within the tales, offering readers a unique glimpse into the cultural narrative that shapes the identity of the Rocky Mountain region.
