Wisconsin as seen through a folklorist eyes.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Paul Bunyan is part of Wisconsin folklore. "The Dark Lord's Curse" is an entertaining tale about Paul Bunyan and Matchi Manitou who lives in Lake Superior. Whiskey Jack and a river crew would take log rafts down the Mississippi River to St. Louis. On one trip Whiskey Jack decided to spend the night alone on a haunted Island with interesting results while the crew stayed on the raft. "The Dream" is a truly unique event with a happy ending. "The Firestorm" blends history with folklore to make a very exciting and tragic piece of history. There are twenty five stories in this book and it is hard to pick a favorite. The tales cover a wide range of topics including lead mining, barn dancing, a sunken ship in Lake Superior, a Loup Garou in Green Bay, a hungry wolf pack, a house troll and others. The folklore has it's own unique qualities captured by S E Schlosser in her own imaginative style. I enjoyed all the stories and have a new appreciation for Wisconsin.
