Sandy Flash The Highwayman Of Castle Rock

Excerpt from Sandy Flash: The Highwayman of Castle Rock "That's the very thing we're looking for, Bob! I knew we'd find 'em here. See the marks in the snow?" The younger boy bent eagerly forward better to examine the track before him. "I see it's a trail all right, and not a cottontail's. Blessed if I know what made it, though. D'you, Dave?" The taller lad smiled in half-hidden amusement at the eagerness with which his chum was seeking to unravel the mystery. "Surely! You would, too, if you'd only put in more time out in the woods like me, 'stead of fooling with that horse of yours every chance you've got from chores. It's a coon made it. Coon, Bob, and here's where we get him!" "I say, Davey! Hold hard! Don't be so cock sure of everything. I mayn't know much about trapping, but I've hunted coons myself with houn' dogs too many times not to know something of 'em. They live in trees, I'd say. Tall ones mostly. If a fellow chases 'em, why they -" "'Course they do! About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

“Dark History of Penn’s Woods is the perfect book to keep you up all night... It’s ghostly, it’s ghastly, and we guarantee some of the included photos will stay with you!” — Philly Mag When ships under the command of white Europeans first sailed into the Delaware Bay in 1609, southeastern Pennsylvania's documented history of the strange and unusual began. This book tackles seven true "dark histories" from Chester and Delaware counties, which include tales of murder, witchcraft, cannibalism, tragic accidents and macabre events that actually happened in the Greater Philadelphia region. All stories are meticulously researched and placed within the greater context of Pennsylvania and world history. For example, the murder of three children by an indentured servant is placed within the context the kidnapping of children into servitude in England for sale to the Americas. The trial and execution of a woman for killing her infants is placed within the context of the rights of women in early America and how the court system failed them. The treatment of witchcraft is placed within the larger relationship of Quakers with the supernatural in Pennsylvania. This is not a book of ghost stories; this is an exploration of the real events that led people to believe in ghosts. It aims to strike a balance between a colloquial work that is accessible by a variety of readers, and an solid academic work.
