Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Southwestern Pennsylvania in Song and Story: With Notes and Illustrations The personages of the past; belonging to the pre-historic age of Southwestern Pennsylvania, are the Mammoth-hunger and the Mound-builder. Of the existence of the former in the Little World, nothing is known; and of the latter only that which has been inferred from, his works found here as elsewhere in the valley of the Mississippi - of whom more anon. However, it is known to a certainty, that before the extinction of the Mammoth and the Mastodon, a savage man inhabited this valley and destroyed these monstrous animals In a manner similar to that described in the following stanzas; and it may be assumed that the last of these great elephants was killed here as elsewhere, since their remains have been discovered in this locality - the tooth of a Mammoth, found in 1875, off the Point in the City of Pittsburgh, (where the Allegheny and Monogahela rivers unite to form the Ohio - or, as the word signifies, the Bloody, or the River of Blood,) and now in the possession of the writer, suggesting the theme of the following poem. For further information, necessary, possibly, to an understanding of the letter of the poem, the reader, presumed to be a stranger in a strange land, is referred to the notes appended. Beneath the weight of the new-fallen snow, The boughs of the fir tree bent, A savory feast to the monstrous beast, That through the forest went. That through the forest went alone, The last of his mighty make, A moving mound on the frozen ground That made the forest quake.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the ancient hills and misty hollows of Fayette County, Pennsylvania, generations of locals have passed down stories of a woman with mysterious magical powers. People came from near and far to seek healing and protection through her strange rituals. Some even believed she could fly. Named Moll Derry and nicknamed the Witch of the Monongahela, her legend has been documented by writers and folklorists for more than two hundred years. She is intertwined in many regional tales, such as the Lost Children of the Alleghenies and Polly Williams and the White Rocks. Author Thomas White separates fact from fiction in the many versions of Moll Derry and recounts Western Pennsylvania's folk magic history along the way.

Download or read book American Folk Songs [2 volumes] written by Norman Cohen and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2008-09-30 with total page 774 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This state-by-state collection of folksongs describes the history, society, culture, and events characteristic of all fifty states. Unlike all other state folksong collections, this one does not focus on songs collected in the particular states, but rather on songs concerning the life and times of the people of that state. The topics range from the major historical events, such as the Boston Tea Party, the attack on Fort Sumter, and the California Gold Rush, to regionally important events such as disasters and murders, labor problems, occupational songs, ethnic conflicts. Some of the songs will be widely recognized, such as Casey Jones, Marching Through Georgia, or Sweet Betsy from Pike. Others, less familiar, have not been reprinted since their original publication, but deserve to be studied because of what they tell about the people of these United States, their loves, labors, and losses, and their responses to events. The collection is organized by regions, starting with New England and ending with the states bordering the Pacific Ocean, and by states within each region. For each state there are from four to fifteen songs presented, with an average of 10 songs per state. For each song, a full text is reprented, followed by discussion of the song in its historical context. References to available recordings and other versions are given. Folksongs, such as those discussed here, are an important tool for historians and cultural historians because they sample experiences of the past at a different level from that of contemporary newspaper accounts and academic histories. These songs, in a sense, are history writ small. Includes: Away Down East, The Old Granite State, Connecticut, The Virginian Maid's Lament, Carry Me Back to Old Virginny, I'm Going Back to North Carolina, Shut up in Cold Creek Mine, Ain't God Good to Iowa?, Dakota Land, Dear Prairie Home, Cheyenne Boys, I'm off for California, and others.
