Myths and Legends of Our Own Land is an extensive American collection of legends. In his preface, Skinner openly states that he drew his material from written accounts, histories, newspapers, magazines, and oral storytelling, reconstructing it in each case. The source is therefore not a primary transcript of any individual storyteller’s account.
The import contains 266 entries: 261 titled legends from the nine geographical sections of the table of contents, and five clearly titled thematic chapters at the end. These last five contain several shorter narrative examples without original titles of their own, so we have not artificially split them up.
Project Gutenberg eBook 6615 was used. Skinner died in 1907, and the work is in the public domain. The point on the map marks his professional connection to Brooklyn, not the place of origin of all the legends, which span many parts of the United States.
