Everyone loves to hear a good story, and nothing competes with tales of days gone by. You can almost hear the campfire crackling when a good storyteller launches into yarns about long-ago cowboys in the lonely West, feel cold shivers as an ancient scary ghost story unfolds, or taste the spray of salt at an old seaman's saga.
America is rich in adventures and myths, comedies and tragedies, tales handed down from generation to generation, brought from the Old Country and embellished along the way. This book captures that spirit of storytelling and plays on themes treasured through the times. The pages come alive with vivid descriptions of ghostly battlefields, eerie encounters with the Grim Reaper, and lost loves never to return.
Big Irv Lampman is a true storyteller to his core, and here he shares some of his best lore. His fondest hope is that readers enjoy these tales, perhaps spending quiet hours in front of the fireplace with loved ones.
