Skinner is a historical collection of folklore and mythic narratives, likely written in the late 19th century. This volume explores the themes surrounding buried treasures throughout American history and the stories linked to significant natural features, such as waters, cliffs, and mountains. The likely topic of the book is centered on the legends and myths associated with treasure hunting, emphasizing how they are rooted in both local history and cultural imagination. The book delves into numerous tales of legendary figures like Captain Kidd and the supposed locations of treasure he may have buried.

From demons guarding gold in hidden caves to tragic lovers who leaped to their deaths, the stories illustrate the interplay between human desire for wealth and the rich tapestry of American folklore, revealing how unreachable riches have fueled imaginations, inspired explorations, and intertwined with the very landscapes they inhabit.
