Myths and Legends of Our Own Land — Volume 03 : on and near the Delaware

Delving into the folklore of the Delaware region, this collection gathers haunting wartime tales and ancient native lore that have lingered in the valleys and hills for centuries. Listeners will meet the eerie white rider who prowls the night on Iron Hill, a spectral presence that tests the courage of Continental soldiers and reveals a cunning ruse crafted by a British scout. The stories also spotlight the dramatic landscape of the Delaware Water Gap, where natural cataclysms and native legends intertwine, from the tragic love‑struck princess of Lover’s Leap to the mysterious silver mine guarded by a reclusive prospector.

Beyond the ghostly apparitions, the volume weaves together colorful accounts of brave militia, daring scouts, and the enigmatic Chief Tamanend, whose wisdom earned him a lasting place in American heritage. Each legend is recounted with vivid detail, inviting listeners to imagine the rustle of horse hooves, the echo of distant drums, and the quiet awe of a land where history and myth walk side by side.
