Produktbeschreibung

Listen to the whispered legends of spirits, heroes and traitors hidden in one of New York's most captivating regions.Like the region's first inhabitants, the "e;Cat People,"e; who made clothing from the mountain lions and panthers that they hunted, Western New Yorkers still savor the tradition of storytelling. Tales such as the "e;Mail-Riding Mamma"e; of Chautauqua County, who carried both the post and her infant child above her head as she journeyed across perilously-flooded creeks, and the Ossian Giant, who at age 19 stood 7 feet, 6 inches tall and weighed 385 pounds, are vividly narrated by Buffalo storyteller Lorna MacDonald Czarnota.
