Staten Island Folklore: Folklore

Staten Island Folklore: Folklore

This, my third book about Staten Island, takes a look into our islands rich and diverse past in a series of short stories. Be they myth, folklore, legend or tales, they have been past down from generation to generation. Some are proven true, some are believed to be false but the one thing they all have in common, they have been repeated time after time and they are fascinating stories. I am sure that some of these stories will bring up fond memories of Staten Islands past. Some of what you will discover in this book are, tales of a Mad Monk in St. Augustine Monastery, Lost Treasure off Staten Island shores, a story about a colorful character called The Indian Lady from Shooters Island, find out why a Nazi prisoner returned after his escape from the armys Halloran General Hospital (Willowbroow State School), discover the connection that Ichabod Crane, the Lindbergh baby, Willie Sutton and the Queen of England had to Staten Island, sit back and enjoy stories of stills and moonshine, gangsters, buried treasures, local ghosts and much more.
