Allegheny Episodes is the eleventh of twelve volumes in Henry Shoemakers Pennsylvania Folklore Series. Published in 1922years before Shoemakers time as Pennsylvanias first state folkloristAllegheny Episodes includes twenty-five stories written in his typical literary style. Some tales recall famous hunters and loggers who made their way through Pennsylvanias rough country; others center on rivalry and lost love, ghosts and other supernatural phenomena, and the wilderness itself. Shoemaker saw Pennsylvanias folklore as a melding of Native American and European practices. Though his methods have been contested over the years, Shoemakers work as a folklorist stemmed from his deep affinity for Pennsylvanias fading wilderness and his desire to capture the heart of its people through the spoken and written word.
