A book about Maryland folklore
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
The Star Spangled Banner was written by Frances Scott Key while on a boat in the Chesapeake Bay near Fort Henry during the war of 1812. S. E. Schlosser blends history and folklore in a compelling story called "Dawn's Early Light", describing the scene of the Fort Henry battle in vivid detail. There are a great many folktales associated with Maryland. Twenty six great stories are included in this book. Several of the stories involve life on the Chesapeake Bay. One I enjoyed wears the title of "Dead Man's Coat", where A waterman finds a coat floating in the Bay and brings it home only to find that the rightful owner a ghost wants it back. "Steal Away Home" is a story about a slave fleeing Maryland trying to reach Canada and the difficulties and risks it took to achieve that goal. The last story in the book "Don't Turn on the Light" should be scary enough for most readers. Overall I enjoyed reading this book very much.
