Three Eyes on the Past

by Louis C. Jones

No Customer Reviews

When Louis C. Jones looks at the past, it is through three eyes--history, folklore, and material culture. The result is a view shaped in terms of total folk culture, a well-balanced look at who we were, what we did, and why.

The fourteen articles collected here reflect regionalist Jones' s love of New York State, where his roots run deep, as he explores the landscape, preservation, folk art, folk medicine, ghosts, werewolves, the devil, and a topic with special fascination for him--murder.
